E-learning is 'the use of information and communications technology (ICT) to enhance and/or support learning'. Currently, e-learning is primarily delivered through the University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) maintained by IT Services.

The UoM VLE is a web-based learning environment which provides tutors with a range of tools to support students with their studies. The UoM VLE contains study-unit areas that are only accessible to students who are registered to the respective study-units on SIMS (Student Information Management System).

This website is designed to help and support academic staff and students with the use of the UoM VLE.

Note that:

• Many tutors make use of the UoM VLE. Tutors will advise students if the UoM VLE is being used for a study-unit.
• Any marks or grades displayed in the UoM VLE are not official. The official study-unit grades are available on eSIMS.
