Creating a Virtual Learning Environment
A virtual learning environment is a teacher and student's online classroom meeting space. It can be used to issue assignments, projects, assessments, and serve as a classroom newsletter. A VLE can be neatly organized into subject area, or grade level if the classroom teacher teaches split subjects or grade levels. This VLE platform can also serve as the basis for communication, networking, and collaboration, three key themes that will be repeated often within this workshop.
