Technological investment in education is rightly justified since it is our current students who will be the future biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers, astronomers and mathematicians who will continue all the technological gains that have been achieved by the men and women of science who came before them.
From GCSE, A-Levels to undergraduate and postgraduate studies, there are many tools that can help students to learn in the classroom and beyond. This is especially true of university students pursuing a degree programme in the sciences, engineering and mathematics.
Most of the discussion in this blog will be related to a Virtual Learning Environment, since this is a system designed to support teaching and learning in an educational setting. VLEs also help educators as much as they are beneficial to students. VLE can be used in the classroom in ways such as:
• To facilitate communication between a student and teacher, a group of students and a teacher.
• To allow teachers to share files containing instructions for assignments to students using applications such as Word, PDF, Powerpoint, etc. On the other hand, students can also use VLE to submit their assignments and projects via the same channel.
• To allow individual and student groups to see each other's work and provide feedback on it even outside classroom hours.
• To allow the university to track the student's progress on long, complicated experiments and projects such as dissertations.
