Blackboard Learn (Learn) is the University of Edinburgh’s main virtual learning environment (VLE) and home to over 5000 courses that are being actively taught at any given time – comprising of both undergraduate and postgraduate (online and on-campus). With up to 75,000 logins every day, it provides a home for the learning materials, resources lists, recorded lectures, virtual classrooms, feedback and assessments our students use every day. It integrates with timetabling and identity management to ensure that the right materials are available to the right students at the right time.

 Ongoing investment in the VLE Excellence programme ensures that the hub and core of our University’s digital teaching estate, Blackboard Learn, provides an equally excellent experience; giving our students and staff a robust, secure, accessible, and modern digital teaching and learning environment that integrates flexibly with a range of related services. Learn VLE is essential infrastructure for on-campus, blended, hybrid and distance teaching.
