This document discusses and compares traditional and virtual learning environments in 3 paragraphs. Traditional learning occurs within the boundaries of a classroom with teachers communicating to many students using blackboards, whiteboards, and projectors. Virtual learning happens through the internet beyond fixed boundaries, with communication through web 2.0 technologies. Key aspects of virtual learning environments are instruction delivery by teachers, instruction acceptance by students, and social knowledge construction and exchange through web 2.0 software.
This project focuses on Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and its goal is to make people aware of its importance and increasing use.
This study shows the difference between a Virtual Learning Environment and other educational websites and how we can understand its specificities. This paper addresses Moodle, which is a modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment used by study communities all over the world for free; and EnglishTown, which is an on-line English school using Adobe’s Adobe Connect 8. Both are accessed by many people and can help us be aware of what a VLE is.
Advances in computer technology continue to change the
lives of instructors and students. One of the exciting new ways
to use computers in education is in testing. According to Brown
(1997), computer-based tests (CBTs) have been used in second
language testing since the early 80's. This rapid change in mode
of administration of tests is very understandable. As Jamieson
(2005) states, computers have a number of very desirable
functions that considerably eases up the test creation and
assessment task, including item creation and presentation,
answer collection and scoring, statistical analysis, and storage,
transmission, and retrieval of information. Also the literature on
computer-assisted language learning indicates that language
learners have generally positive attitudes towards using
computers in the classroom (Reid, 1986; Neu and Scarcella,
1991; Phinney, 1991).
Computer-based assessment has been used in many
disciplines to give both formative feedback and to offer
summative testing. This is especially so in the sciences. There is
evidence to suggest that formative computer-based assessment
can produce improvement in student learning outcomes
(Clariana, 1993) and that this can lead to a positive attitudes of
students to learning.

E-Learning in a Changing Landscape of Emerging Technologies and PedagogiesIain Doherty
This is the presentation that I gave at the Opening Plenary Panel of the 2012 CITE Research Symposium at The University of Hong Kong. I guess that my aim was to start people off thinking a little bit about how higher education has made use of technologies for teaching and learning. I also wanted to send a positive message about what might be done.
Building a Hybrid Learning Environment - Augmenting the Classroom with Conver...Atul Pant
How can teachers create a hybrid learning environment to augment their classroom teaching with online conversation and collaboration. This presentation, which I made at Allahabad University in Oct 2012, looks at the reasons why a hybrid approach is much needed and gives an overview of mostly free tools that can be used to create such a learning experience.
