What CeLD Does

CeLD performs a range of activities within Information Services, working towards its role as defined in the University's Learning, Teaching & Quality Enhancement Strategy 2003-2005, developing online modes of course delivery to encourage the use of C&IT (Communication and Information Technology) in the curriculum. CeLD's activities include:

  • eLearning Design
    CeLD develops online learning courses using the University of Stirling's chosen Managed Learning Environment (MLE), WebCT.

  • Training
    CeLD staff can provide training in a range of software products used to create and support online learning. See the Training section of this web site for more details.

  • Documentation
    CeLD produces a full range of supporting documentation in various formats for both staff and students who are using WebCT either to develop or study online courses.

  • Development of Templates
    CeLD has created a series of Templates upon which WebCT courses may be based. These templates include key features to enhance the online learning experience, including online Discussions and links to useful library resources. CeLD has developed a separate WebCT Template for each Department.

  • Awareness Raising
    CeLD staff seek to raise awareness of the potential uses of C&IT in the delivery of learning and teaching at the University.

  • e-Moderating
    Within WebCT there are online communication facilities. CeLD staff can provide advice on how these may be best used within an online course.

  • Online Assessment
    If you are wishing to develop online assessments within WebCT, CeLD staff can provide support for this.

  • Ongoing support
    CeLD staff currently support over 1000 WebCT modules running at the University of Stirling, with all registered student users able to access the system. Every student has a WebCT account and CeLD help to support queries relating to students accessing WebCT along with the Information Centre in the Library.

  • Course Evaluation
    CeLD provides course feedback facilities to incorporate into WebCT courses, allowing designers to get feedback from their students and improve the online learning experience for future students.

  • CPD work with SURE
    CeLD staff work with staff from Stirling University Research and Enterprise (SURE) to develop online courses in the area of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), generating revenue for the University.
