Your lectures and study materials

An introduction to Weblearn - London Met's virtual learning environment

Weblearn is our virtual learning environment and is a secure area full of resources you'll need for your studies. In this video, we will talk you through what it is and how to access it, with a brief run-through of what it looks like and how to get started. Once you're fully enrolled on both your course and all your individual modules, the resources open to you will become more extensive, so get familiar with it early on so you don't miss out on any essential learning, classes, reading, assignments or deadlines. 

Access Weblearn and find out more.

An introduction to Blackboard Collaborate - your virtual classroom

Once you have access to Weblearn you can visit some of the additional help pages and useful guides, or find out about the app version for your mobile device. Blackboard is the brand name that we call Weblearn, so don't worry if you see the terms used interchangeably. Blackboard Collaborate is a bolt-on to Blackboard, which is essentially a virtual classroom used frequently for live lectures, workshops, tutorials and meetings - should you need to attend one during the year. Many lecturers use this to pre-record material too and these are posted on the relevant section of a module page on Weblearn as part of your learning resources for you to view whenever you need them.

In addition to Blackboard Collaborate, you may also use Microsoft Teams to communicate with your lecturers. This video from Microsoft takes you through the basics of how to use it.

Subject-specific software

If you're studying a subject that requires you to use image and photo-editing software, you may also want to take a look at our video guides on how to use Capture One and Phocus. You'll get training on this software as part of your course, but these videos may be a helpful starting point for some students.
