What is the Western Colleges Consortium?

Formed in 1997 the Western Colleges Consortium (WCC) for Online Learning supports the development and embedding of e-learning and the use of a shared Virtual Learning Environment.

The four partner colleges are: Norton Radstock (lead institution), City of Bath, Filton and Weston.

Core Aims of the WCC

The WCC has three main objectives:

To exploit developments in ICT and ILT using new platforms to provide innovative solutions that allow learning at a time, place and in a mode to suit the learner.
To develop a virtual learning environment to be used by the students of each partner college both on site and remotely to access learning materials.
To collaborate with the partner colleges in the development, purchase, and customisation of high quality learning materials to be delivered on the virtual campus.
