New Ofsted report takes a look at Virtual Learning Environments
The report, Virtual learning environments: an evaluation of their development in a sample of educational settings, published today, shows that despite expectations the use of Virtual Learning Environments across schools and colleges has been slow to take off.
The survey, carried out in a range of settings, including schools, colleges, work-based learning and adult and community learning centres, says the concept of VLEs is still relatively new and represents only a small aspect of learning.
Enthusiasm and peer support from teachers and learners should help the initiative develop more widely.
