Take up of VLEs is slow
Published:  17 February, 2009

Schools, colleges and other learning providers have been slow to take up the use of Virtual Learning Environments, according to Ofsted. It says that the success of the schemes depends on the enthusiasm of teachers and learners.

The report, "Virtual learning environments: an evaluation of their development in a sample of educational settings", finds that the concept of Virtual Learning Environments currently represents only a small aspect of learning.

More than three quarters of those that did have a VLE showed aspects that were good but none had a system that covered every subject area comprehensively. The report finds that colleges are making most use of VLEs and primary schools the least.
