  3. What is a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)? • A virtual learning environment (VLE) is an online set of teaching and learning tools designed to enhance a student's learning experience. • The time and place of learning is flexible • Learning becomes increasingly more personalised with the learner at the centre.

  4. What is a Managed Learning Environment (MLE)? • The virtual learning environment is connected to the Schools Information Management System (SIMS) • Data can be transferred from SIMS to the VLE e.g. names; courses; timetables, attendance data etc. • Data can be transferred from the VLE to SIMS e.g. assessment dataetc.

  5. Why use a VLE/MLE? • Anytime, anywhere learning • Non-judgmental learning experience • Collaborative learning tools • Flexible assessment – self-assessment; peer-peer assessment; teacher-pupil assessment • Staff and pupil resources are online • Supports improved communication with stake holders and between staff

  6. What are the challenges? • I don’t know how to use a VLE/MLE. • I don’t have access to a computer. • It’s not always easy to get to a computer. • Some of the pupils don’t have a computer at home. • I don’t have enough curriculum time to use it in my subject • I achieve excellent results in my subject without using a VLE/MLE

  7. Overcoming the challenges • Teachers given time to develop VLE/MLE. • All staff and pupils to receive training on why and how to use a VLE. • Staff audit of access to a computer/laptop. • Increased availability of laptops for teachers and pupils.

  8. The ONS said that 93% of adults aged under 70 who had a university degree or equivalent qualification had internet access.
