Blackboard was implemented ahead of schedule in December and went live for courses in January. It already has 600 students and 125 staff enrolled.

Rob Watt, convener of computing and information technology in learning and teaching, said "The VLE is already a success and is set for further rapid growth. A high-quality system is in place with plenty of capacity for the future, and the VLE team are ready and willing to help new users get started now."
