VLE? What do you exactly mean by a VLE?

http://userweb.port.ac.uk/~duke-wie/blog/2008/04/15/vle-what-do-y

Cristina Costa has a guest posting on Graham Atwell’s blog: VLE? What do you exactly mean by a VLE? She says:


The learning environment doesn’t come with the software, that much I can assure you. The learning environment is the world the moderator creates together with the learners, while engaging (with) them in a relevant way.


How true! And, I don’t think that we really help matters by concentrating the training for both staff and students on “which button to click when”. We tend to forget “why”

  1. Absolutely agree! In fact the analogy to house and home is great to use in VLE training. In my research, I have found so many Moodle sites being used as electronic filing cabinets - I am not knocking that because that is how some teachers prefer to use it (or feel comfortable using it that way). However, for learning to take place (e-learning) the VLE needs to be a 'home', do you think?
