Abstract

Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) have provided new perspectives for access to information and enhance learning. However VLE have advantages and positive impact on learning, there are still defies to their design and production. This paper focuses on the presentation and comparison of Learning Design approaches used to design and implement a VLE. In the literature, several Learning Design approaches are presented. This work seeks to make it easier for instructors that want to make the best choice when choosing an approach to design and authoring a VLE by revealing which approach will meet their needs.
