The second edition of Horizons (PDF – 375k) is now out and about to hit every staff desk in the OU.

It includes an interview with OU VLE Programme sponsor, Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof. Denise Kirkpatrick, articles on the eassessment work, library search tools, the new audio recording tool, podcasting, and a course in the Business School running almost entirely on the VLE.

Intrepid tutor Clive Buckland who has been known to tutor from a laptop in an RAF tent in Saudi Arabia gives his views on the potential of the VLE to transform teaching, and I round up with answers to some frequently asked questions on the VLE.
