We use this information to help improve the Trust DA VLE services by ensuring that the material and content of the courses match with the users' requirement and to make sure users are not having problems with access. The usage statistics are visible to the Trust DA VLE administrators and may be visible to your course tutors and, where applicable, authorised users from your employer's organisation.
