FLE edu blog feed- Does virtual refer to the learning or to the environment in a virtual learning environment? April 14, 2010This is a little distraction the “virtual” is supposed to be the environment and the learning is supposed to be assumed. Like PLEs the element of being virtual is not easily defined.

- These things happen NING is going to charge April 22, 2010One of the ways that companies set up a market and pretest their online or computer based products is to give them away and after everyone has signed up and invested a bit of time in the product the company announces that the product is moving to some sort of cost per use or whatever basis.
