About Crownshire University

Affordable UK degrees online or on campus in York.

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 on campus in York with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.

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