VLE

“A virtual learning environment (VLE) is a software designed to support teaching and learning in an educational setting” (ANON 2009 online)
It is run over the internet and is a system which teachers can put their resources on and for students to access and upload their work. On it there is information such as course syllabus, up to date course info, previous lesson re-caps, support and discussion rooms. At Shipley College we use a system called fronter, where as at Bradford College we use Moodle.Bad points I've encountered can be extremely slow and confusing to navigate when it is working, costly to run E.g. training of staff/learners.
