VLE- School Learning Portal

School Portal

VLE (Virtual leading environments) 

A VLE is a website which schools use around the world to access work at home it can be used as a school planning where you can access homework dates, documents, details, files and help site.

Ways in which I think that our VLE is useful?

• That you can access your school documents meaning you can do homework at home and up load it straight to your portal.
• If you have had a day off or missed a lesson you could easily go and find out about the lesson on the portal and some teachers may set you work through this.
• Attendance to see how you are getting on at school if you missed a day and want to check its not affecting your attendance to much.
• There is news updates telling you the local news maybe warning on the weather keeping you safe.
• You can add friends and see how there getting on and they can help you through your work.
• You can click on the timetable and it come up with your lessons and what time you have them today and where you have them.
• You can access other areas like public areas to help you out if you are struggling.

Ways in which I think that our VLE is less useful?

• The ways in which it’s present is awful the layout is not eye catching and makes it confusing to use.
• There is no notice board which tells you activities which are going on in and around school I think this should be added to it. 
• Better web links that could help you in the future E.G Uni, careers
• Advise link where you can ask questions can be nameless so if you want to ask a question but don’t want anyone to know.
• Frog profile is pointless it’s very distracting and no purpose of it at all.

I think that our school portal is very helpful and is a very useful site I think that it could be changed in many ways to make it easier to use and get rid of things such as frog profile which are very pointless and not worth getting confused over. There are many different companies that have these web sites for school our school uses frog which the school pay the company to use there services. But there are many other company’s such as Moodle. These are all VLE websites that schools use round the world to help with education and school work.
