Learning Platforms
Imagine a student who is working on a project at school. When the lesson ends the work is saved. After school the student works with a group of friends and they access the project and continue collaboratively, perhaps involving experts in this country or abroad. Imagine every student having a personal on-line space where they can store work at any time to be picked up later and continued with later from any Internet-enabled computer anywhere in the world. Imagine parents being able to look at their children's work for the week, month or year and communicate concerns or worries with the teacher. Imagine teachers being able to post lessons, resources, homework, etc. on-line so that any student can collect everything they need at any time - even if they're away from school. Imagine an on-line diary and calendar that's always accurate and up-to-date and that everyone can see what's coming up at any time of the day or night. All these are the benefits of an on-line learning environment, or platform. You'll often come across the terms VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) or MLE (Managed Learning Environment) but they just mean the same thing.

Learning Platform is an on-line space
that pupils, teachers, school managers
and parents can all access not just at school but also at home or from any Internet-connected computer
anywhere in the world. It gives many opportunities to everyone connected with a
school - access to lesson plans, mentoring, letters to parents, an on-line
calendar and diary, opportunities for collaborative working, etc., etc.
