What is Virtual Learning Environment?

VLEs represent the online component to a course in educational discussions. One of the most common forms of virtual learning environment is the eLearning model, but the category is more expansive than that.

It encapsulates all the online environments that act as supplements to the course, whether they are online courses like eLearning, reading resources and informational sites with stand-alone skill assessments, or other forms of virtual learning.

By contrast, eLearning is a specific approach to using LMS platforms to create interactive digital course components.
