Information systems integration in virtual learning environments |
This work seeks to present an analysis of the methods used for integrating information systems within a managed learning environment. The research is based on a series of online surveys and interviews with FE and HE institutions in the South West of England conducted during August and September of 2006. The results of the research indicate that whilst interconnectivity between information systems within MLEs does exist, it is on a principally ad hoc basis and differs from institution to institution. Likewise, the full range of integration methods and technologies currently available are not being used to their full extent.
