Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
ACL Essex has its own Virtual Learning Environment where learners can access information and resources related to their subject at any time.
About the VLE
All learners are given a VLE account when they enrol with ACL Essex. Your account details are:
Username: your firstname.surname@essexacl.ac.uk (e.g. mary.smith@essexacl.ac.uk) all lower case
Password: ACLlearn1
Click on sign in. This will take you to a Microsoft Sign in screen where you will change your password. These are your log in details for the VLE and also Office 365 for the duration of your course.
If you need further help, please view our video and written tutorials or contact acltechsupport@essex.gov.uk
If your tutor has set up a course on the VLE to support your classroom course, they may give you the enrolment key you need to access it. To find your course, click on the ‘ACL Courses’ image and either search for your course by name or click on your subject area. Once you are logged in, this will appear in ‘my courses’. There are lots of other resources which you might find useful to support your learning with ACL. Click on the Information tab at the top of the screen to find out more.
