A VLE (virtual learning environment) is a platform used in education to give access to educational content online. This can be via computers or mobile devices (tablets or phones or even games consoles). Most VLEs are set up by a specific educational institution. For example, a school, college, or university. The institution will then make choices specific to the needs of their learners and staff. Some virtual learning environments are created to be accessed by any learners, even if the learner is not affiliated to a “real life” educational establishment. This type of VLE is a means to deliver online courses to anyone who wants to buy them, or to offer them for free in some cases.
