Virtual classes are mostly used in learning institutions, primarily the advanced ones, to give out instructional information and provide learning materials in a simplified manner reaching out to a vast number of leaners. This article contains the analysis of the report on the usage of the online learning materials based on the VLE method in the college of Sixth Form. The objective of this study was to highlight the impact of the VLE mode of learning on the college-based majorly on three queries; whether the associated implications of using VLE method are positive, whether this method enhances the development of independent learning skills and finally whether this method encourages the student’s more in learning. According to findings, the VLE method efficiently influences the learning activities positively.

Here the analysis of the design of analytical design is deeply discussed. The systematic learning involves a lot of critical practices that are displayed and explained by the use of the VLE method of learning. The close assessment of the involved procedures in analytical classes ensures one understands well. The high-technology being used in systematic classes ensure all the required data have been efficiently captured. The diagrammatical content can be zoomed for more natural visibility hence making it easy for learners to read it. In analytical learning, the sound effect is significant; therefore, the learners can hear the audios clearly without much background disturbances. Regular classes are adequately supported by the VLE program hence superb experience for students and teachers.

The advanced institutions are facing several problems in adapting the usage of the advanced learning method of VLE. In this article, this issue is deeply looked into where the measures on how the institutions will be able to newly design, conceptualize, and lastly, have a second thought on the efficient usage of the virtual space for the newly enrolling students considering the 21st century. This mode of learning has diversified the provision of learning activities of different institutions globally, where the existence of their physical boundaries is no more defining their boundaries. The teachers have been able to develop more effective design models essential for learning purposes through the use of the VLE program.

This article states that both the students and their teachers are in the position to interact freely through electronic means of communication. This type of communication may be done through different online platforms such as email, chatrooms, or even writings on the blackboard. To incorporate all these means of online communication, the term VLE is used. This article further tries to demonstrate how the combination of both physicals, together with virtual studying, will emerge later on in the generation to come. The result of virtual classes is enabling the students to access a wide variety of reading resources in the comfort of their classrooms. This aspect has dramatically helped in boosting the education levels in various learning institutions.

This article tends to analyze the overall experience of the students, including their teachers, on the usage of Virtual studying methods through the illumination of graphics on particular floors such as chatrooms. Therefore, this study mainly focuses on the capability of the involved participants in creating more appealing live images during the presentation time. With the emerge of new visual designs, the teachers have been in the advantageous position of developing their models for learning purposes, especially where there is a need for the live presentation of particular topics in the course of the study. Through the qualitative method of data, collection analysis has shown that both the participants who are the students and their corresponding teachers have been able to adapt the new online learning method, and it has positively influenced their learning activities making them more easier and enjoyable.

Here the application of VLE in psychology class is being analyzed. This mode of learning seems to effectively support the psychology classes through live performance, where face-to-face conversations are efficiently supported. Data from the VLE users and non-users were gathered where the results show a positive impact of VLE usage in society. This article has further figured out the capability of self-assessment of the students to be of great significance in helping them to develop the learning skills. Thus, resulting to improved class performances and also well adaptation when it comes to real life experiences. The lecturers work has also been positively affected as the need for providing physical reading materials have been effectively done away with hence making it easy for students to get all the necessary data through online platforms.

The analysis of this article shows that the VLE mode of learning has positively impacted the ability of the learners to acquire more knowledge in their studies without much struggle. This has been achieved through live performances that include graphic presentations, which are more understandable as compared to theory reading. Thus, the virtual classes have been essential in effectively transforming the learning field to a better place where educational materials are readily available. Through the personalized online learning platforms individuals from various geographical locations are able to unite through an online platform and have a discussion or rather share their different opinions concerning a certain issue and finally come up with an effective conclusion.
