The Teaching Development Unit centrally manages the enterprise wide e-learning system at UWS.
The e-learning system consists of Blackboard Campus Edition and integrated e-learning technologies. This environment is known as ‘virtual UWS’ or vUWS to students and staff, and over 90% of units have a vUWS presence.
UWS students (in recent Student Satisfaction Surveys) have consistently rated their experience with the e-learning system as both high performance and high importance.
E-Learning Service Desk
Students and staff are supported in their use of the e-learning environment by an E-Learning Service Desk in the Teaching Development Unit. The Service Desk handles more than 4,000 enquiries per semester and can be reached on 02 9852 5252 or vuws@uws.edu.au.
Teaching Development
The Teaching Development Unit facilitates a range of e-learning teaching development activities in blended and fully online modes. UWS staff can register in workshops about using vUWS, clinics and webinars on innovative Web 2.0 technologies.
