The Virtual Learning Environment system

The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an integrated university environment where students can apply for admission over the internet, enroll in the classes offered by VLE after admission, access a complete course, take tests, and interact with the professors as well as classmates. The VLE has tools for administrators, professors and students for performing their duties. VLE supports the goals of a virtual university. The VLE implements specific modules for routine administrative functions of a university environment. VLE provides for student admission, course registration, grade management, and administrative report generation among other functions. It implements all the functions for a student to take the course over the VLE. The VLE allows students to view lectures and access the study material for every topic of the course. The students are given tests at specified times, and answers to the questions are transmitted to the professor automatically. The communication hub of the VLE has an e-mail facility, chat facility, and a multimedia teleconferencing system. In addition, it has all the tools and instructions for a professor to develop the material for a course to be offered through the VLE. It also includes all the day-to-day procedures that a professor must follow once the course is ready for delivery to the students.
