All the students acknowledged the use of the learning platform as a repository for course material considering it as a storage facility although not all courses had materials available which students found frustrating.
Materials mainly comprised of office documents such as WORD and POWERPOINT files with some links to external websites and resources.
In a few instances students were provided with multiple choice questions to practice and assess levels.
In some cases the learning platform was used to find out essay questions, learning outcomes and supporting materials including examples of previous students work.
There was also limited use of revision notes, past papers and solutions, ancillary notes, animations and some multimedia.
It was the general feeling that many functions of the learning platform are not used and there is little or no interactivity.
