Where do I start?

If you are new to UCL or digital education, here are some ways in.

Practices and concepts

Refer to the Teaching and Learning Portal toolkits to find out how different technologies relate to educational purposes.

Technologies

Find out which platforms are directly supported at UCL, which external tech we recommend, and which practices they support.

Digital Education has specific guides to help you understand and use the technologies, namely:

• UCL Moodle Guides (for staff) - the virtual learning environment, a portmanteau of educational activities, resources and cohort management.
• Lecturecast Resource Centre - lecture capture.
• MyPortfolio Resource Centre - a space for students to organise and present digital materials.
• Opinio - the survey platform.

What colleagues are doing

The UCL Teaching and Learning Portal chronicles digital education initiatives taking place around UCL.
