Institutions are increasingly relying on digital technologies that require internet access to support learning and teaching, particularly from a distance. As these technologies are adopted, certain groups become excluded from participation, specifically those cohorts without access to reliable internet. The ‘From Access to Success’ project will develop and deploy a sustainable and innovative learning management system (LMS) called Stand-Alone Moodle (SAM) that is internet-independent. In the first instance, SAM is being deployed in correctional centres where incarcerated students are not able to access the internet. This session will explore the issues and challenges surrounding assessment associated with this project.

Alone Moodle (SAM) that is internet-independent. In the first instance, SAM is being
