Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

A virtual learning environment, known as ‘Google Classroom’ is available for use by staff and students at PCA. Google Classroom was launched by Google for Education in 2014 as an alternative to other VLE’s, such as Blackboard and Moodle, and is a platform which allows lecturers to create and upload online learning resources, and set, collect and grade student assignments. Lecturers can also utilise existing Google applications, such as Gmail and Google Drive to facilitate the creation of documents and communication with students.
