What is a VLE? How can a VLE make a difference to my classroom? What are Nord Anglia’s plans for VLEs?

For those not familiar with Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), Nord Anglia University’s website is an example of one – a VLE is a website that’s designed to facilitate learning and teaching, whether online or in class.

VLEs can support classroom teachers and students in many ways, including:

Virtual Learning Environments

- Share lesson materials with your students

- Set up quizzes and tests for formative and summative assessment

- Set, submit, grade and track homework

- Run peer teaching/peer assessment projects

- Keep your record of work to keep track of what you did in class

- Write and share lesson plans and curriculum maps/documents
