Getting started
1. What is the Richmond VLE?
The Richmond VLE or Virtual Learning Environment, is an important part of the Richmond Learning
Platform that comes with many Richmond products. Each Richmond Learning Platform has its own
URL which you can find on the back of your Richmond product e.g.
http://www.americanbigpicture.net
This Richmond VLE Student Guide explains how you can access and use the Richmond VLE.

2. Registration
Self-study students
Click on the Register me for self-study button on the home page of the Learning Platform for
your chosen Richmond product, e.g. http://webframework.richmondelt.com and follow the
step by step instructions. Once your registration has been validated, you will receive your login
details by email.
Students in an educational institution
Please do not register online unless the Training Manager for your institution has asked you to
register as a self-study student. Your Training Manager will normally create your account for
you and give you your log-in details.
You will need to enter an access code from a Richmond product (e.g. book or CD-ROM) to log
in to the Richmond VLE for the first time. Your Training Manager or teacher will be able to tell
you where to find your access code in each Richmond product.

The first time you see your Home Page, it will only show the first product you activated. To see
other products, you must enter their unique access codes via the Register New Product link in
the top right hand corner. Each access code is valid for 14 months from the time it is first used

eWorkbooks
eWorkbooks come with some Richmond courses, such as @work. They are digital versions of
the Workbooks and contain activities for each unit and lesson.
eWorkbooks record scores and progress themselves, rather than record them in the markbook.
Activities you complete in the eWorkbook are saved so you can come back to them at any time
and your teacher can see the activities you have completed too.

Yes. You may need to do this if you have joined an institution since registering for self-study, or
if the Training Manager for your institution asked you to register yourself.
Your Training Manager or teacher will need to give you the code of the class you want to join.
You should then log in to the Richmond VLE and click the Enter class code link at the top of the
screen. Your username and password will stay the same but as the member of a class in an
institution you will need to enter a new institution code the next time you log in. The code will
be sent to you in an email.
Once you have joined a class you will not be able to become a self-study student again without
registering for a new account.
