Virtual learning - Phil Thane, Personal Computer World

In the Australian outback, for example, they’ve had ‘virtual schools’ via shortwave radio since the 1950s. Recently, learning systems that bring together many existing web-based technology strands, including email, chat, blogs and wikis, have started to come together and VLE (virtual learning environment) is now the abbreviation du jour in school staff meetings.
