Implementation“Buying a VLE is one of the most important decisions for an institution, one that has major implications for it, and should be seen as significant as buying a major new building. The choice of VLE will be significant across all areas of the institution and especially in the way in which teaching and learning are undertaken” Minshull, G (2004) VLEs: Beyond the fringe and into the mainstream, Coventry, BECTA

MLEs?
James Farmer, 2006
An MLE should …• give priority to learning and teaching by
integrating timetabling, planning, assessment and resources;
• facilitate the sharing of pupil information between all those teaching a pupil; allow planning and assessment to be readily monitored;
• provide a single integrated view of all the data held on any given pupil;
• incorporate tools to support teachers’ and managers’ analysis of performance at fine-grained levels, and assess the effect of interventions;
• improve communication within the school and between school and home;
• facilitate opportunities for pupils to take greater responsibility for their learning; and
• be accessible from home.
