Realsmart Cloud vs VLEs
What is a VLE?
A VLE is a Virtual Learning Environment.
The main purpose of a VLE is NOT content
storage but communication and interaction
between learners and teachers.
Think of it as a social learning site (SLS)
providing the tools of communication that
students use in their personal lives.
