A couple of things that have come up as observations from learners, and that I hadn't thought of as advantages for a VLE are that if you are new to the class, (someone joined recently) they said that they felt less intimidated coming into the more anonymous environment of an on-line classroom - this was particularly so as she was a pre-celta applicant and the other people int eh room were teachers working in India, SIngapore, China and Malaysia! The other thing that came up tonight was that someone was ill at home in bed, but was still able to access the class successfully. She did say that she would like to be more of an observer than a particiant tonight, but that's fine, too!
I still think it's not as good as a real class, but it's got some plus points!!
