Moodle buzz

Nelson & Colne College has developed a ‘bolt-on’ for its Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), enabling students and staff to keep track of EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) and ALG (Adult Learning Grant) payments. It has not just helped to simplify the EMA/ALG service for the College; it has been a useful lever in engaging students in the VLE, has reduced the College's SMS texting costs, has encouraged students to take responsibility for their EMA/ALG, and has enabled staff to identify issues with attendance at an early stage.
