VLE

I used Wikipedia to find the definition for a VLE.
A VLE is a virtual learning environment which is a software system designed to support teaching and learning in an educational setting, as distinct from a Managed Learning Environment (MLE) where the focus is on management.
A VLE will normally work over the Internet and provide a collection of tools such as those for assessment, particularly of types that can be marked automatically, such as multiple choice assessments, communication, uploading of content, return of students' work, peer assessment, administration of student groups, collecting and organizing student grades, questionnaires, tracking tools, etc.
New features in these systems include wikis, blogs, RSS and 3D virtual learning spaces.

Advantages to having VLE’s in school are:

• The lesson can be done anywhere where there is Internet connection- No student will require to miss a lesson.
• All work will be able to be accessed via teachers computer.

Examples of VLE’s at Abbeyfield School are:

• School website
• Blogger
• Samlearning
