Hello to everyone and welcome to the first official week of LSTOnline, LST's new virtual learning environment.  Whatever programme you have chosen to enrol in, this will be your home, learning place and community for the coming months and years. By now you will have received an email with a basic set of initial information, such as the links and login credentials that have got you here.  

The next week or two will be a time for you to become familiar with LSTOnline and how your chosen programme will be delivered online through what we have called the Induction Session, a set of four small courses designed to help you get ready to study.   Please go to the Study Induction now and begin with Understanding LSTOnline. 

Once again, it is a privilege and pleasure to walk with you in your journey. Should you have any problems, contact us by email at lstonline@lst.ac.uk or by other communication means that you will find listed on the home page (>Have Questions? box). During the induction week we will endeavour to answer all replies within 24 hours or sooner (depending on the volume of requests).
