| Summary: | For most, if not all, schools it is not a question whether to implement a Virtual Learning Environment but how to do it. VLEs should be in all schools within the next few years and early adopters speak positively of their potential to transform learning. This programme tackles one of the biggest debates: which VLE to choose. Director of e-learning at Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, Mark McNulty has been working with a VLE for two years now and he gives a frank appraisal of the difficult process of choosing and then implementing a learning platform. His candid approach to analysing the difficulties of converting reluctant colleagues and of the pressing need to get the right IT support will be of particular interest to ICT staff and leadership teams as they face up to making tough decisions. The programme looks in detail also at the debate around open source, free software and packages provided by the big commercial suppliers. |
