About Us

Welcome to #VLEIreland – a website all about a collaborative e-learning research project in Irish higher education institutions.

What is a VLE?

A VLE is a virtual learning environment, sometimes called learning management system or course management system. Well-known VLEs include BlackBoard, Moodle and Sakai.

Why research VLEs?

Most higher education institutions in Ireland (and internationally) have these systems and we are interested to know how staff and students use them.

You can access full details of our research and its outputs on these pages.

Currently, there are ten institutions collaborating in this research. Our door is always open and we would be happy to hear from you if you are interested in joining us!

We acknowledge the support of ILTA and the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning.
