- Staff at Kingston University provided feedback from a learning technologies review calling for more flexibility and openness in their virtual learning environment (VLE), including the ability to publicly share course modules. - The university is exploring ways to provide a more open infrastructure, including directly uploading staff and student content to the VLE content system, implementing a university metadata schema, and federating searches across systems. - Trials were conducted importing and exporting content packaged in the IMS Common Cartridge standard between the Blackboard and Moodle VLEs, with some challenges around resource navigation and file naming conventions.
