About University of Brigant

Historic UK university (founded 1883) with Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online degrees.

Overview

Scottish winters close bridges, cancel trains, and knock power. This nine-month PGCert is for learning-technologists and programme leaders who must keep dual-pathway teaching alive when the Edinburgh campus cannot open. University of Brigant treats VLE design as continuity operations: asynchronous parity, assessment windows, and staff rotas—not a click-training badge. Fifteen credits, campus or tuition-free online, same standard. No LMS vendor logos. You will specify what happens to identity-checked exams and library holds when named storms close the city, without pretending a plugin is a continuity plan.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.

**Award:** University of Brigant **Credits:** 15 | **Typical duration:** 1 years (9 months)
