Evaluating the Education & Training Potential for Virtual Learning Environments
Virtual Learning Environment with all the advanced features such as enrolment, curriculum mapping, course options management, assessment of student records, tutor support, quality communication, delivery of learning resources, profile keeping, wider management, tracking of offline learning and interchange and publication of content, capacitates learners to design and develop a common scheme of work which ameliorate the courses and empower their skills and information unequivocally; irrespective of the aspects of languages, time zones, organizations and other serious reservations which encompasses the activities of on-campus learners as well of those of the distance learner. Specially, for distant learners to whom the option of vis-à-vis, contact with teachers and fellow students is either unavailable or heavily restricted to a few specific occasions.
VLE resource base provides an array of opportunities to work with image, video, audio, presentation and other conventional forms such as scanned newspaper articles, pamphlets and other sources of information. It is a complete online learning institution with courses running over several different time zones in multiple languages which allow the instructor and students to design the pattern of learning more in form of a simple web page.
Embedding the benefits of a VLE in the classroom:
· Optimized support from tutor and access to staff can help improve results among students. Most of the teachers do agree that it has facilitated greater pupil-controlled learning
· Online study groups use online conferencing and collaboration tools and multimedia presentations for routine material, course handouts, homework and assignment sheets are posted to the web. Therefore, students can better support each other through these communication tools.
· A modernistic, innovative and interactive educational environment help to instigate students as vast quantity of high quality learning material is always available to students.
· Discussion boards, drop boxes and banner announcements improvise teacher-to-individual pupil communication and students learn more effectively.
· It’s learnt that because of one-to-one interaction pupils take on complete accountability for miscellaneous tasks and because of the better understanding of subject area, their engagement in ensuring the best quality of their own efforts has increased tremendously.
The context of Virtual Learning Environment and Online study groups is poorly acknowledged and articulated. Because the term “virtual” is connected to it and it is conceptualized that students are just left to get on with it and normal lesson interaction and feedback decreases which is certainly not true. The concept of VLEs, lead to a authentic sense of interaction, and including the social aspects of learning lead to more effective learning.
