Virtual Learning Environments: Using Choosing and Developing your VLE

Virtual learning environments are widely spread in higher education, yet they are often under utilised by the institutions that employ them. This book addresses the need to move beyond thinking about the VLE simply in terms of the particular package that an institution has adopted, and viewing it as a significant educational technology that will shape much of the teaching and learning process in the coming years. Considering how virtual learning environments can be successfully deployed and used for effective teaching, it sets out a model for effective use, focussing on pedagogic application rather than a specific technology, and seeks to provide a bridge between pedagogical approaches and the tools educators have at their disposal. It contains essential advice for those choosing a VLE and encourages all those involved in the deployment of a VLEs to use them more productively in order to create engaging learning experiences.Additional ISBNs041541430X, 0415414318, 9780415414302, 9780415414319, 0203964349, 6610764379, 1280764376, 1134122497, 1134122535, 1134122543, 9780203964347, 9786610764372, 9781280764370, 9781134122493, 9781134122530, 9781134122547Virtual Learning Environments: Using, Choosing and Developing your VLE 1st Edition is written by Martin Weller and published by Routledge.
