Projects & Research
BLE projects originate from ideas and suggestions that reflect the needs of the Partners. The BLE has an ongoing commitment to the digital capabilities of our staff and students. A number of projects, activities and events have been run in order to identify, explore and ultimately improve and enhance the ways in which digital technology is used for teaching, learning, assessment and research.

UCL Knowledge Lab members have worked with colleagues across BLE to realise some of our ambitions for online and blended learning, such as collaborating on evaluating software, creating resources for digital assessment and feedback, co-designing online staff development in digital education and scaling these up via the BLE MOOCs. These collaborations have always been positive, bringing extra resources, community and support. This has been so important for projects that were too big for us to run on our own. The BLE has provided access to other colleges to test out ideas and find inspiration for new ones. We are, for example, in a unique position of having access to two MOOC platforms which has helped us to develop considerable cross-platform expertise.
