A VLE typically consists of a CMS (Content Management System) and an LMS (Learning Management System). The CMS is the bank of learning materials on the VLE, from individual questions through to complete courses for learners. The LMS keeps a recordof the learners who are enrolled on courses, their scores and their progress.

“The platform is free to download. It’s ‘open source’, which means the code is freely available to developers. Like other platforms, I can upload text, audio, images and video, even the interactive exercises”
