VLE
A VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) is an online system that helps schools and universities deliver education to students. Think of it like a digital classroom where teachers can share materials, give assignments, and interact with students online. Common examples include Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas. These systems became especially important during remote learning but continue to be vital tools in modern education. You might also hear them called "Learning Management Systems" (LMS) or "Online Learning Platforms."
