Our Digital Pedagogy and Teaching Skills Framework: building virtual learning environments

Our framework helps you make effective use of virtual learning environments (VLEs). Moodle drives delivery, engagement and evaluation, and its thoughtful use supports inclusive teaching.

In a digital-first education landscape, the Digital Pedagogy and Teaching Skills Framework (DPTSF) highlights building Virtual Learning Environments as a key focus, emphasising well-designed, accessible, and structured digital content aligned with university accessibility policies. This approach embeds a culture of inclusion and creates a supportive Moodle environment where all students can succeed.

Our DPTSF sets out the expectations and skills to help empower you when exploring digital pedagogy

We expect all who support and deliver teaching to:

  • Use Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) – Moodle as our central component of teaching and learning.
  • Follow our Moodle baseline and template to ensure consistency across all our courses.

This can be achieved by:

  • Import, export and transfer courses across academic years.
  • Annually update our teaching materials in our VLEs, including our recurring courses.
