VLEs: opportunities and challenges (structure elements, different platforms) Introduction During this lesson students will get to know different VLE platforms and compare them according to a set of criteria elaborated through a discussion. The practical task will be to create a lesson on one of accessible platforms.
Objectives: - enhance the reflection on VLE Platform features relevant for language teaching; - compare and contrast different VLE Platforms according to the discussed set of criteria; - develop critical reflection on the contents of a lesson in VLE (what should and should not be put on-line), on the role of interactivity, on the tasks and tools choice for blended learning, on the contents segmentation; - create a lesson with the help of different VLEs, compare and discuss the results.

Students make up a list of components of a VLE using as basis the ways in which a VLE can be used in learning. (Example: delivering contents library resources, reading lists; assessment quizzes etc.). Draw the scheme on the blackboard. C. Reflective task: Comparing the results with the list of criteria offered by the teacher. Elaborating the final list of criteria.
