Introduction – 1 • Virtual Learning Environment (VLE): • A complex software system that helps to provide learning content and organise learning processes • Characterised by the following elements: • User administration • Communication media • Administration of modules • Viewing of modular content, learning objects and media in a network-enabled browser

  4. Introduction – 2 • Blended learning: • A sensible combination of traditional face-to-face instruction and state-of-the-art e-learning formats • Networking through the Internet with ‘classical’ learning methods and media • Main Focus • Postgraduate real estate education • Provision of learning incentives • Reduction of spatial or temporal restrictions

  8. Implementing a VLE • Key issue: Does it lead to significant learning effects ? • Low-profile solution = „intelligent“ file storage system • “Proprietary” vs “open-source” solutions • Development from scratch by yourself ? • A VLE should offer a great deal more than just a facility for distributing subject matter.

  10. Shaping the Content with Moodle • „Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment“ • Installation fairly easy • Role assignments • Wide variety of features built in: feedback,submission of assignments, quizzes, … • No obligation to use all of them • Expanding the range from course to course • Just do it: “Feeding” with content

  15. Some Conclusions & Discussion • Software solutions are available • No need to invent a homemade solution • Goal is not to replace human input • Reasonable relationship between efforts and output for participants (depending on group size, …) • Excessive expectations regarding the benefits of VLEs should be avoided • The right mix of technologies can lead to a constructive learning experience
