  • Teaching Resources: 120,000
  • Assignment submissions: 80,000

We started developing our in house learning environment in 2000. It’s completely web based and the only Notes clients are our development and admin clients. It’s linked into our student record system so modules are automatically created and student registered on them.

Even back in 2000, those ‘in the know’ (i.e. Computer Science lecturers) argued that the technology wouldn’t scale and would be abandoned by IBM. However, we found the technology a good fit for our team’s skill-base which was more ‘learning technologies’ based (i.e. Director, VB etc). I think after nearly 10 years, we can say Domino does scale!
