We are getting close! 29 days to go, to be precise, before UNE’s updated Learning Management System (myLearn) goes live on Friday, 13^th October.

Students will get access to their T3 sites in the new system from Monday, 16^th October.

Preview access

The Project Uplift team is pleased to let you know that you now have access to a (preview only) test environment at https://mylearn-stage.une.edu.au  for a sneak peek of what myLearn will look like.

Check out the DigEd blog post and/or look out for details in an email to unit coordinators tomorrow.

Please note this is a PREVIEW ONLY. Once you log in, you will see a read-only snapshot copy of your Moodle teaching sites. This snapshot was taken a few weeks ago and will not reflect any changes that have been made by you or by the uplift team in the last few weeks. Changes you make in the myLearn-stage system will NOT update your active or future teaching sites.

The team will collect feedback from you and students and continue to refine some of the technical aspects of myLearn over the next few weeks.

Unit uplift

In parallel with the myLearn upgrade preparations, the uplift team has been working with T3 unit coordinators on T3 units to get them ready for the next trimester, and to introduce some changes to enhance the student experience in line with UNE’s 16 Elements.

Changes you will notice in your T3 sites (in our current Moodle environment) are:

• A more concise unit home (Section 0) with announcements, a welcome video and a contextual welcome message.
• A consistent set of tiles in the first two positions in each unit (Unit Information and Resources and Assessments) and more consistent presentation of information for students in those tiles.

For more information on the rationale behind those changes, please take a look at the blog post in the Digital Education blog. Please contact the uplift team if you have any questions.

What’s next?

From the afternoon of Thursday, 12^th October, Moodle will be offline as we start the upgrade process.

It will be available again as myLearn from the afternoon of Friday, 13^th October. The URL will change from moodle.une.edu.au to mylearn.une.edu.au as part of the process (with redirects in place to make sure that no exiting links break). More details to follow.
