The Guidance of Using iSpace


UIC iSpace is an e-learning platform, also a Learning Management System (LMS), or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It was built by Moodle. It is very effective for educators to use iSpace to create online learning courses. As a resource hub, we develop an iSpace site “CTL Teaching and Learning Resources” where all UIC staff could enrol themselves and access all T&L resources.
