Introducing Cloud-based virtualised environments and their use in supporting learning and teaching. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J. (2012, June). Introducing Cloud-based virtualised environments and their use in supporting learning and teaching. Paper presented at Enhancing, extending and empowering student learning within online environments

There is a major challenge faced in running distance and blended learning modules, especially in giving students an equivalent learning environment than to face-to-face students. To overcome this problem, a number of modules have been run within 2011... Read More about Introducing Cloud-based virtualised environments and their use in supporting learning and teaching..
