CONTENTS: The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is one of a long
series of initiatives
in e-learning and electronic business. Since the outset of the dotcom
boom,
universities have turned to VLEs as a means of providing learners with
access
to online resources, support and assessment. The authors of this report
examine
the benefits and disadvantages of VLEs, and argue that whilst VLEs have
value-added potential, they also represent a high risk strategy for
universities. This report draws on the authors' some fifteen years of
practical
experience in developing VLE-type environments, as well as classic
frameworks
from `Strategic Information Systems' theory to review and evaluate the
evolution of e-learning. It is argued that the enthusiasm for spending
on
technology-supported learning has reached its peak. There may be a
growing
trend among institutions to invest in other aspects of learning
infrastructures
(e.g. physical buildings and information resources) rather than
IT-based
technologies alone.
