Disadvantages of VLEs

However, virtual learning environments are not completely sunny days; they too have some disadvantages. These disadvantages include:
  • Setting up this kind of service would be expensive for any establishment, especially if they intend to create a high quality end product. Also, virtual learning platforms require for the host establishments servers to be constantly running, and this could. Furthermore, extra personnel may be required in order to maintain the service, and ensure that the service is working at all times.
  • If the host establishment is experiencing networking problems i.e. their internet is down, the establishments virtual learning environment will also be forced to be offline until it is manually brought back online – something which can be done only when the networking problems are solved.
