Before academics can start preparing their units in myBU, the units must first be Published (created in myBU) and the staff responsible for the delivery of the unit must be Assigned (attached to the unit). This preliminary stage takes place in the VIS (VLE Information System) and needs to be carried out by staff with knowledge of which units are being taught and who is teaching them. Faculties have been invited to send the names of their nominees by 10 August to learningtechnology@bournemouth.ac.uk
