Effective Use of Virtual Learning Environments

Overview

Welcome to the infoKit on Effective use of VLEs.

The use of technology to support learning and teaching has changed dramatically in recent years.

Most institutions are now exploring the possibilities of e-learning and many have implemented VLEs or virtual learning environments. These tools offer great possibilities but they need to be used effectively if they are to deliver maximum benefit for students.

This infoKit takes you from the theoretical frameworks underpinning good teaching to the practice of e-learning. We consider how technology affects the roles of learner and teacher in a number of real-life scenarios. The infoKit is based on sound pedagogic approaches and draws on case studies of good practice across the UK.

Whether you are new to e-learning or an experienced practitioner there are pathways to guide you through the relevant sections of the infoKit. The infoKit will continue to grow and expand as the knowledge base develops and we welcome your participation in its further development.
