Moodle
Moodle is the virtual learning environment (VLE) at UAL. This will be the main ‘home’ for your online course or test. You will use it to view important updates, to submit or sit assessments, or to take part in online classes.
Once you have been enrolled on your course, you will receive instructions on how to log in and use Moodle.
Collaborate
Collaborate Ultra is the platform your course will be using for ‘live’ online classes or tests.
You will be able to find links to join these classes in Moodle.
You will receive more information about accessing Moodle and Collaborate once you are enrolled on your course.
