Learning Environment Project Page

Dedicated to enhancing TRU's online learning and teaching environment.

Ask A Question


Improving the learning and teaching experience includes consistency in the learning environment for our students and staff. Moodle has been determined to be the potential preferred institutional fit at this point as it is open source and already used on campus. We are currently in the information gathering stage and are starting from a values perspective and drilling down to required functionality to meet those values. Please add your comments, thoughts, opinions and suggestions to these pages to help us capture all possible requirements. If you want to say something but not in a public forum, please contact Tanya, Brian or Jacquey to have the conversation.

Goals & Objectives (Draft)

To develop a learning environment students and faculty love that is alignment with the TRU Academic Plan and:

Is easy to use appropriate support when required
Supports learning that is:
1. Engaging and interactive
2. Supported (technical end user support? or...)
3. Open
4. Applied
5. Flexible
6. Research and data-driven
Is cost effective, sustainable and supports continuous improvement while encouraging back end efficiencies
Is implemented using a process that supports the needs of staff and faculty through appropriate process development, training and ongoing support
Is compatible with existing student management systems and automated enrolment on registration can be achieved to support continuous entry
