My Dundee is our virtual learning environment (VLE). Based on Blackboard Learn, it provides online areas for all your modules, including learning content, activities, assessment, as well as organisations for discipline and school information.

Ally is Blackboard's tool to help instructors deliver more accessible content and allow students to download content in a format that suits their needs.

Collaborate is our dedicated virtual classroom environment for delivering live, online teaching sessions. You can schedule sessions, create on-demand module rooms, create breakout spaces and more, all from inside your existing My Dundee Module space.

YuJa provides staff and students with a flexible set of tools to capture, edit, distribute, and manage video content both within and/or outside of your My Dundee module.

If you are looking for a website to host learning and teaching activities such as portfolios, blogs, or wikis, you may want to use Learning Spaces.

Create interactive presentations and lessons wherever you are. Get real-time input from remote teams ad online users with live polls, quizzes, word clouds and more.

Padlet is a digital canvas to create beautiful projects that are easy to share and use collaboratively. You can take an empty page and put whatever you would like on it.
