The Digital Campus

Teaching, assessment, support and administration take place in one environment, reachable from any device a student already owns.

Platform tour

Six Areas of the Campus

01

Dashboard

Current grade average, progress across enrolled modules, upcoming deadlines, and a direct return to the point at which study was last interrupted.

02

Lesson Viewer

Every lesson in all three formats, with academic support available in the sidebar at any point without leaving the lesson.

03

Assessment Center

All eight assessment methods in one place: submission, results, and a breakdown of how each piece of work contributes to the final grade.

04

Academic Support

Questions in writing or in speech, informed by the lesson in front of the student and by everything they have covered before it.

05

Tutor Correspondence

A tracked channel to faculty for feedback on drafts, guidance on assessment choices and any matter requiring a considered human answer.

06

Progress Record

Grade average, credit accumulated, results by module and by assessment type, kept current rather than issued at the end of a term.

As students see it

Screens From the Platform

Study anywhere

On the Devices Students Already Own

The platform runs in a browser on Windows and Apple computers and on most tablets. There is no application to install and no specialist software to obtain. It is not built for a telephone screen, which is too small for the lesson viewer to work properly.

Audio lessons integrate with the device's own media controls, so playback can be paused and resumed from a locked screen, from headphones or from a vehicle's controls. A lesson begun on a commute may be finished at a desk, and progress follows the student rather than the device.

Before you enroll
