"Aula does help us feel like part of a community because we have been able to interact with students from different disciplines - like, me being an automotive engineer interacting with a graphic designer can help us combine concepts and create something completely new."

"I’m really grateful that we have Aula. It just makes everything so much easier. If I couldn’t use it anymore, that would just stress me out: where would I even go to figure things out? Aula just puts everything in the right place for me."

"I feel like Popeye does after he has a can of spinach. Everything is just so much easier."

"I was surprised to find out Aula has a really user-friendly interface. You don't feel overwhelmed by all the information."

"For me, Aula is really user-friendly. It seems really familiar to me as a platform, and much more intuitive than Moodle. Even some mature students who have really struggled with Moodle in the past are having a positive experience with Aula."

"Aula’s biggest benefit so far is its Community feed, which creates more interaction and discussions. The way my modules are set up gives opportunities every week for a student to post on the Community and get some feedback from me or their peers."

"Community and a sense of belonging are the keys to student satisfaction. Aula is clearly more interactive than your average VLE: it lets students use technology to present their ideas in different formats and talk to one another."

"Aula definitely made my life easier: the learning designer prepared the entire course structure for me and clearly indicated where I should break down a lesson, or upload a video or document. That definitely saved a lot of time and a lot of work, especially on a module I’d teach multiple times every year."

"The Community feed has been very useful: it means I can update the students quite quickly and easily. And, when my students had lots of questions at the start of the course, some just posted to the Community and got answers from their peers. students."
