I've been working on virtual learning environment (VLE, sometimes referred to as learning platform or learning management system) implementation for an MBA Educational Management dissertation, and would like to find out more about experience elsewhere in this technology. My particular interest is the extent to which VLEs can contribute to knowledge management in schools. I've put together an online survey and would be very grateful if list members who're using VLEs could take 15 minutes to respond. Responses will be treated confidentially, and there's no need to identify yourself or your school unless you so wish. The address is http://vle.dyndns.org If you know of others who are using VLEs in their schools, I wonder if you could pass the address on to them: hardly a scientific sample I know, but given the still rather limited take up for this technology, the more responses the better. As well as making use of the survey responses for my dissertation, I hope to disseminate the findings more widely in due course. -- Miles Berry Deputy Head St Ives School Haslemere www.stiveshaslemere.com
