We are living in a modern world wherein advanced technology is a necessity to get connected with people. One of the great innovations of our times is the Virtual Learning Environment or (VLE).  It is a set of teaching and learning tools designed to enhance a student's learning experience by including computers and the Internet in the learning process. 


Advantages:
  • Students can study anywhere as long as there is an access to an internet connection 
  • can work at own pace
  • provide convenience and flexibility in class time
  • cost effective

Disadvantages:
  • Bad study habits can easily fall behind

Virtual learning is a great learning tool but it is not applicable for everyone. It requires high -tech gadgets and internet connection to be able to experience the benefit of the said innovation.
