Oxford virtual learning environment

Their status is a mess as of 2020s, with several systems ongoing. Long live the "original" collegiate university!

E-learning system of the University of Oxford. Closed by default to non-students of course. It might not be possible at all to publish things publicly?

WebLearn was closed in 2023 in favour of Canvas.

Moodle instance of the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford.

Has a mixture of open access and closed access. But at least it can have open access unlike the in-house systems such as Canvas where everything is necessarily paywalled!

Sometimes things appear open but don't show any meaningful content if you are not logged in, which is annoying.

But at least it gives a clear public course list, thing that certain departments (cough Department of Physics of the University of Oxford cough).

The organization is a bit crap, when you expand e.g. C Michaelmas term it shows nothing, just a search.

The way to go is via the year year categories e.g. "Year 2022-23": courses.maths.ox.ac.uk/course/index.php?categoryid=734. Term splitting is annoying, but one can stand it.

There seems to be no way to list all versions of a single course across multiple years besides just doing a search e.g.

This is apparently where past exam papers can be found. Paywalled of course.

The paywall is stupid however, as they seem to provide past papers upon request, e.g.

This adds to the mess of having a different location for material per department. Presumably this exists because the central university authority wants to centralize examinations to have better control over degree requirements. If only they would also do the same for all materials and end the mess.
