Description

In mapping out the future direction at the University of Hull, a new project has been created, currently called eCommons. This represents a new approach for the institution when thinking about the overall online student experience. The project started in November 2011 and has a working definition of eCommons as: the online environment to facilitate effective teaching, learning and communications. From early consultation desired characteristics of eCommons include: integrated, seamless, personalised and intelligent. eCommons is not a new LMS for Hull, nor is it any other similar system. eCommons is a state of mind, the willingness to think holistically about how things can be joined up and the implications of that for students, faculty and support staff.
