Computing > About the VLC

The Virtual Learning Commons is a place to make connections and meet your fellow students. It's also a great place to find out how to be a successful student - how to do research, write A+ papers, hone your study skills and effectively manage your time so that you can get everything you need to do, done.

Every page of the Virtual Learning Commons has the menu along the left hand side that you can use in a traditional web way to go to the various areas of the site.

What may be different to you, is the list of discussions that are in the centre of the home page. This list of discussions are generated by the Virtual Learning Commons based on discussion topics that you pick. You can check out existing discussions by clicking on one. You can also track that discussion by adding it a personal list of discussions and see who else at the University is tracking that discussion. You can also add your own comments on any discussions.
