Previous Projects
Online Assessment & Feedback Project
Launched in 2014, the purpose of the project was to improve online assessment and feedback processes, practices, opportunities and technologies available to the BLE partners. It aimed to achieve this by communicating and exchanging examples of good practice by producing publications, online resources and arranging events. All the written outputs from the project, including research papers and case studies, are available as an ebook, which is free to download here.

The Bloomsbury Online Course (BLOOC)
The Bloomsbury Online Course (BLOOC) was developed in 2013-14 as a result of collaboration between learning technologists and online learning staff from the BLE partners. Designed to improve the pedagogical use of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) used by academics across the consortium, the BLOOC models good practice in teaching and learning with technology, showcasing innovative examples of use from all Colleges. Open to anyone as an On Demand course, launched in 2015, the BLOOC is divided into four topics: multimedia, wikis and blogs, running synchronous teaching sessions and online formative assessment.

The Bloomsbury Media Cloud Project
In 2010, the BLE partners, together with LIDC, were awarded a grant from Jisc to fund the Bloomsbury Media Cloud project. The project developed a shared digital media platform, to manage and store audio and video content. The project makes use of the "cloud", where content of differing formats and stored in different locations is pulled together into one place online. |

Appropriate & Practical Technologies for Students, Teachers, Administrators and Researchers
In 2008, the BLE was awarded £195,000 to manage the APT STAIRS project. The project investigated new technologies to provide a common space for users (students, teachers, administrators and researchers) with different skills to work online together. This innovative project focused on the use of online collaborative tools, and aimed to encourage uptake and adoption across the partners in the consortium. The project ran demonstrators of Google Docs and other similar tools to engage all users in supporting and developing learning, teaching, administration and research. |
