The VLE of our dreams

Learners and learning

transparent

together, belonging

Help with planning

Orientating within degree

Connecting out

For teachers and teaching

Prompts pedagogical decisions

Parsimonious

Jointly supported (not just IT)

For assessment and feedback

Multimodality

Different purposes

Mastery learning without deadlines

Potential for ungrading

Peers and groups

VLE support and development

Communities of practice needed

Develop, rather than bodging or hacking

More semantic, less boxy

A thin, interoperable layer?

Does that give sufficient structure, access?

For evaluating teaching and learning

VLEs are only partial representations of practice

Avoiding deficit model

But what is the VLE?

And what are proxies for learning. (Not clicks.)

What is the nature of the data?

Triangulation needed

Shareable practice

Avoid overdetermining by NSS

Could students set questions?
