Abstract

University of Salford has been using this software for the last 2 years and it's content has been successfully embedded into delivery of many of our courses. The online learning platform provides access to thousands of learning courses delivered by industry experts. The students are using the software to support their studies but also to develop and improve their digital skills for the purpose of future employability prospects. The University staff use the e-platform to learn new skills and develop and improve existing ones. There are no alternative services that are capable of offering the range, depth and quality of course currently available through this service. As such, we have decided to extend our use of the service for a further period of 3 years, until 2022.We have secured value for money by negotiating directly with the service provider to obtain the best price.
