The University of West London (UWL) has harnessed the potential of a Cloud-based suite of collaboration tools (Microsoft Office 365, offered free of charge to higher education institutions) to create a personalised, interactive, social platform to both improve the learning experience and to enable students to combine social learning with their academic study.
