Shrewd BLC Offering

Shrewd has long supported the Blended Learning Consortium (BLC) and its member colleges. Our new direct BLC integration makes it easier to bring high-quality BLC modules straight into your Shrewd courses. As many Further Education (FE) colleges move away from traditional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) toward Microsoft Teams, delivering and tracking SCORM packages has become a growing challenge.

The Shrewd BLC Package provides a streamlined solution for BLC members to deliver and report on BLC content directly within Teams — at a significantly lower cost than a full VLE.

Important Notes & Limitations

This package is purpose-built as a streamlined, cost-effective solution for
BLC members to deliver BLC modules within Microsoft Teams.
As such, it includes some intentional limitations compared to our full VLE platform:

  • File uploads are capped at 5MB.
  • Certain advanced activity types (such as quizzes and future planned types) may be restricted.

If your college requires a complete, fully featured VLE experience — including unrestricted activities,
larger file support, and advanced functionality — our standard Shrewd plan remains available
at a specially reduced education rate. Full details are available on our pricing page.
