VLE
Over the past year, Holdfast has developed a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) which is available as an online school accessible by all those undergoing training. It is a well established model that is widely used in further and higher education but tailored to the needs of the RSME and its students, and forms part of the blended learning solution being employed at the RSME. It also supports lifelong learning well after formal training at the RSME has been completed.
Our VLE is designed to support the training delivered by giving staff and students the opportunity to access learning materials when, where and how they wish in order to expand their learning opportunities. Recently WIFI has been introduced at the RSME which permits the VLE to be accessed in the accommodation blocks and messes enabling all ranks to do research, undertake revision or review of already taught modules, or search the net outside of the classroom environment. On arrival at the RSME, individuals are given a user name and log-on which stays with them throughout their career and allows them access to information, courses and social networks that are relevant to them as required.
Additionally, because the VLE can be accessed from outside of the RSME via the internet, it has and will continue to be used to support remote learning thereby potentially reducing the requirement for individuals to be away from their Units.
For those with a log in and password, the VLE can accessed via the link below.
