CHARM-EU uses three core platforms in the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE): 

• Moodle: This is the learning management system that is used to organize modules and course content for the master’s programme. Here you can find all the class material of the different courses. 
• Scorion: This is the platform that holds the E-portfolio CHARM-EU students use to collect their programmatic assessments. It is used to review and evaluate progress, as well as to provide and receive feedback. Scorion facilitates a student-led approach meaning that it makes you responsible for filling it with the relevant data. The main benefits of this system are the flexibility that it provides as well as a powerful set of dashboards for students and instructors that show student progress across a large, customizable set of criteria.  
• Microsoft Teams: This is the main collaboration platform for CHARM-EU students. Teams combines chat and video meeting functionality with document management and collaborative editing features. You will use Teams for almost all collaboration tasks, both for in-class activites and teamwork, as well as during the Capstone phase. The hybrid teaching of the courses also takes place on MS Teams. 

You will be using all three platforms throughout the master's programme to support your learning and to become one virtual learning environment together with the students in the other partner universities. To access all three platforms, you need a SolisID which is secured through a password and 2-factor-authentication.  

If you need assistance with these platforms during the programme, you can receive support via the email: CHARM-VLEsupport@uu.nl.

Each CHARM-EU location has a hybrid classroom. These hybrid classrooms allow students at the different locations to follow the same class in real time and engage with the students that are located in the other universities. The hybrid classrooms are equipped with screens, cameras and microphones so that you can participate in different types of teaching activities with your peers.

Students (and teachers) should bring their own devices to the classroom including headphones with a microphone, and a personal computer with an integrated camera and HDMI or USB-C output. Student devices should have a minimum of 8GB of RAM, in addition to the minimum requirements for Microsoft Teams.

Do you need support to buy a device or do you have special needs on technology? Please contact your local university student services.
