What we’ve learnt about our learners (and staff) What have we found out
Survey and Feedback:Blackboard Mobile Learn “I use my device a lot more….It’s been much better, as I don’t have to have a lot of paper with me.” “I liked the 'favourites'; which meant I could access the relevant modules for this semester.”
Survey and Feedback:Qwizdom - QVR “I would definitely use QVR again in the future” “The system is really simple to use. I can carry less handsets to the classes from now.”
