E-Learning

At Essex we have a variety of e-learning packages and tools available for use by students and staff.

E-learning tools

Course Material Repository (CMR)

This provides access to web-based course materials that are relevant to a specific course, such as course outlines, course materials, timetables, past exam papers and so on.

Online Coursework Submission (OCS)

This allows you to submit digital copies of assignments to your department via the internet.

Questionmark Perception

This is a web based application that allows you to take online surveys, assessments, and tests. Your tutor may use it for delivering online exams.

myLife

This is a personal space in which you can record thoughts and activities of any variety (through a weblog), as well as create work and social spaces that allow you to prepare academic work and keep track of all of your friends.

Personal Response System (PRS)

This is a technology that allows you to provide almost instantaneous feedback to your lecturer in the classroom or lecture hall.

Other e-learning tools

Here in the International Academy we also use Moodle and virtual reality.

Login Advice for Restricted Web Pages:

Some of the University's web pages (such as WebMail, myEssex, Online Coursework Submission, Web Payments, Moodle, WebCT, Course Materials Repository, the proxy service, and the Library) are only available to registered University of Essex students and require you to enter your Essex username and password in order to view them.
