Looks at how UCA's VLE was employed to help address government cuts in Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) by developing a toolkit advocating independent learning. Essentially operating on a point-of-need basis, this toolkit sits centrally in Blackboard and Xerte, with its components employed on course templates and listed on Blackboard’s A-Z directory of everything.

The toolkit aims to demystify assessment practice and introduces appropriate technologies and strategies for different learning approaches through interactive tasks (quizzes and exercises) and web resources.
