This is the virtual learning environment for the Learning Skills course on the LEAPS Summer School. This year's course will commence on Wednesday 13 June and will conclude on Wednesday 25 July. 

The Learning Skills course comprises a mixture of campus-based lectures and tutorials (at The University of Edinburgh) and online study. The Virtual Learning Environment you're looking at now will form an integral part of the course. 

Before the course begins you might wish to begin by exploring how to use this site so that you can make best use of the different resources and information over the seven weeks.

We also recommend that you visit the Technology page to check that you'll be able to access the different resources hosted on this VLE.

After that you might want to have a look at the Course Team page to find out who'll you be working with in class and online during June and July.
