A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a platform used in customized education to provide access to educational content online, accessible via computers or mobile devices. VLEs offer deeper interaction and student engagement. Customized learning tailors education to each student’s strengths, needs, skills, and interests, creating individualized learning plans based on their knowledge and learning style.

The Skills4Deca portal will be upgraded to support teachers and learners, incorporating best practices from the partnership members.

Enhanced methods will be designed to monitor knowledge acquisition and measure professional development.

Mass customized virtual learning environments encourage new roles and responsibilities for lecturers, students, housing managers, and the broader community. These environments allow students to learn at their own pace and provide extended learning opportunities beyond the university setting. Personalized learning has been shown to lead to better learning outcomes, including higher retention rates and improved assessment performance. This is because learners are more engaged and motivated, and the content better aligns with their needs and abilities.
