Check out this little gem from Dan Kennedy on the VLE/PLE debate. There is nothing to stop students going farther and publishing their work in mainstream journals - if their work is good enough it should be shared widely. It''s also very motivating for them. Some of my previous students have published in journals in the past few years.

The user interface on most VLE/LMS technologies is often too complex for students, who spend much more time trying to navigate and discover content than they do actually learning that content. Teachers can harness this principle in the design of just about anything from the layout of the classroom to the design of a learning resource.

Many of the other commercially available LMS (learning management systems) and VLE (virtual learning environment) platforms aren’t doing any better.

There is little room for experimenting with tools beyond the VLE. Innovations and going beyond the VLE.
