Abstract

This paper presents our approach to closing the gap between research and practice when delivering technology enabled learning. We illustrate our model that uses research to underpin how we have shaped a whole institutional roll out of our new VLE, Canvas. The model is built around our Learning Design principles based on current research in the field and key institutional priorities. The model addresses how we lever the implementation of our new VLE as a catalyst for changing the institutional pedagogical paradigm. Our experience shows that by adopting such an approach we are able to positively impact on institutional teaching practices and influence policy to support innovative VLE pedagogy.
