The University uses Moodle as the base of its VLE which we brand Study Direct; we are currently building on Moodle 1.98.  Moodle is an open source solution and is supported and hosted in-house.  Study Direct is used to support all taught programmes at the University and almost all of our students will follow some modules which make use of the system.  The Study Direct team consists of a manager, advisor and a number of developers; its infrastructure is supported by our Infrastructure group.  The total staff effort in providing the VLE service is around 5 FTE.
