Overview: WebLearn

WebLearn was our virtual learning environment before Canvas. It is now being retired from use

Current Status

WebLearn is now end-of-life. Features were withdrawn at the end of September 2022. WebLearn is now unavailable for general use and the creation and modification of content is no longer possible and access is only available using the University VPN. The system will be fully withdrawn during 2023.

The WebLearn homepage includes the most up-to-date list of withdrawn features. IT Services will advise WebLearn users of any further changes to let them know how this will affect them.

   

If you are currently using WebLearn for any on-going activities, you must move this activity to an alternative platform immediately.

WebLearn is now closed for general use
