• In this session, delegates will be given a brief
  overview of the London Managed Learning
  Environment (MLE). This will include an
  explanation of what it is, the national and
  London wide picture, and how this will
  potentially impact on Newham schools in the
  future. The presentation will be followed by a
  hands-on session where participants will consider
  how the MLE might be used by governing bodies in
  schools.

What is a MLE? Learning platform is a generic
term to describe a broad range of ICT systems
used to deliver and support learning. A learning
platform usually combines several functions, such
as organising, mapping and delivering curriculum
activities and the facility for learners and
teachers to have a dialogue about the activity,
all via ICT. So, the term learning platform can
be applied to a virtual learning environment
(VLE) or to the components of a managed learning
environment (MLE). A managed learning
environment (MLE) refers to the whole range of
information systems and processes that support
learning and the management of learning within an
institution. It includes VLEs or other learning
platforms, administrative and other support
systems.
