Guide to LearnNet
If you’re studying at Dumfries & Galloway College, you probably know about LearnNet already. It’s our Virtual Learning Environment, (VLE for short!).
For those that don’t know, LearnNet is where you’ll find all your course stuff online, like materials and quizzes uploaded by your lecturers. For some of you who are doing Open Learning, you might find your course materials somewhere else (don’t worry, your lecturer will let you know if that’s the case).
