This level 1 single semester module Introduction to Middle English was taught across 11 weeks at the University of Manchester in 2003/04 and 2005 as an optional course unit. This Virtual Learning Environment was designed by me and Anita Gill (Learning Technologist) who also provided hands-on support during its duration. It is delivered through WebCT our institution’s software package. It is assessed by an individually graded portfolio based on a collaborative group project submitted in December at the end of teaching (worth 50%). In addition to this formative piece of work a ‘seen’ examination is pre-released in Week 9 of teaching to provide opportunity for research and the exchange of ideas or resources within the cohort; students were not permitted to consult staff during this time.
