4.0 out of 5 stars Sound advice and a good read, 16 April 2007
By Darren C (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
There's lots of practical advice in this book. I'm the e-learning champion in my college and I found it a useful guide to using VLEs for teaching, and also it has provided me with lots of theory I can bamboozle others with. I now quote affordances everywhere! The chapter on integrating with other systems was insightful, and not at all techy. The author has a good writing style, which makes what can be a rather dry subject very engaging. I would have preferred a bit more on general e-learning (although I think his other book does this - haven't read it), but definitely worth a buy if you have anything to do with e-learning or VLEs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Virtual Learning Environments (Using, choosing and developing your VLE), 22 April 2008
By Mr. Raymond J. Tolley (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book, but I'm not so sure about who the target audience might be - certainly not for the faint-hearted. Written from the background of the OU Professor Martin Weller writes well but, I suspect, for a limited audience.

I do not see many 'techies' getting much in terms of an understanding of the educational aspects of a VLE. Similarly, at a time when thousands of school leaders are presently trying to understand their own VLE strategies, I am not sure how much help this book will actually be in helping educationists in terms of the actual sub-title.

From the wider market perspective, I would have liked to have seen a comparative table of the 20-odd various VLE products available - after-all, the VLE market is much, much bigger than just Higher Education.

For me, as a teacher, the book does not answer the bottom-line questions: Should I even bother installing a VLE? and if so, What will it actually do for teaching and learning?

Despite my criticisms, a good niche reference book for many who might be struggling with these issues.
