Lampeter (or similar) and University of London

I was reading the on the UoL website and read the following:

BA History
How you study

The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
The VLE is like a virtual classroom that the University uses to deliver the content of the degrees via the Internet. It provides everything you need to study and to help you manage your learning. The VLE will allow you to:

* access your course materials
* take part in discussions with the tutor and other students
* receive notices, seminar dates, project support and other programme-related information
* ask questions regarding the administration of the programme
* seek help for technical problems that you encounter

Online seminars
All courses for BA History feature a number of online seminars. Online seminars are regular, formal discussions that will be moderated by a tutor. As a general rule, you will be expected to participate in between three and seven online seminars for every course that you study. The seminars will take place on set dates and will last for a set amount of time, usually about two weeks. A notice about the dates for the online seminars will be available in the VLE. Please make sure you check the notices regularly for any course-related information.

Study materials
We will provide you with all the study materials you will need to complete the programme. The study pack that you receive will contain:

* Student Handbook
* Regulations
* Username and password (to access the VLE)
* The Arts Good Study Guide
* Textbooks
* CD-ROMs


How would that differ from the learning expirence for UoW Lampeter or another university?

(Of course there would be some differences, but I mean in style (= presentation) and delivery.)

I know that the BA in History is differnt than some of the degrees offered. From what I read (like the BA in Philosophy) it's: read this and test. The BA in History seems to be more structured/class like.
