SMILE (St Mary’s Integrated Learning Experience) is St Mary's University's Learning Management System (LMS) for staff.
Staff complete their annual Essential Training on SMILE and have access to explore additional eLearning courses. Staff can also book onto training events and record any internal and external learning completed through SMILE.

To mark the launch of St Mary's first LMS, the L&PD team hosted a competition in February 2024, where staff had a chance to compete for two prizes, including:
- highest percentage of staff within an SLT area having completed at least one Essential Training lesson
- 100% of staff within a department completing at least one Essential Training lesson.
After one month of fierce competition, the results were:
Competition one
- Richard Solomon, Chief Financial Officer: 21% of staff completing at least one Essential Training lesson.
- Jo Blunden, Chief Operations Officer: 50% of staff completing at least one Essential Training lesson.
- Symeon Dagkas, Provost: 31% of staff completing at least one Essential Training lesson.
Winner: Jo Blunden, Chief Operations Officer
Competition two
As Human Resources was the only team where 100% of staff completed at least one Essential Training lesson, the L&PD team thought it only fair to instead draw six winners from everyone who completed all six Essential Training lessons.
The six winners were:
- Violeta Kotsevska - Estates and Campus Services
- Matthew Dell - School of Education
- Righteous Mbemba - Estates and Campus Services
- Mark Fry - Estates and Campus Services
- Jade Salim - School of Sport, Exercise and Applied Sciences
- Jacob Johanssen - School of Business and Communication.
Congratulations to the winners!
