The development of an integrated learning environment

Abstract

This paper examines the integration of a Simulated Professional Learning Environment (SIMPLE) with a Learning Management System (Moodle), an E-portfolio System (Mahara) and other learning technologies to create an Integrated Learning Environment (ILE) in the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP) at ANU. The focus is on the work undertaken by Educational Developers and IT Consultants to develop and integrate the technical aspects of the new environment so that students and lecturers experience a comprehensive integrated teaching and learning environment.
