BBC NEWS | UK | Education | Virtual learning 'slow starter'
Seems a fairly accurate perspective on the use of VLEs in all levels of education. I think this article supports the view that teachers need to work (at least partly) from within the VLE. If it is treated as an optional or alternative tool the paradigm degrades and the student teacher relationship reverts back to the traditional one. At third level students can be afraid of losing out so if anything is missing from the VLE they will default back to the classroom material, using the VLE as a backup.
