Introduction A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) usually: is Web-based Uses Web 2.0 (interactive / social Web / read and write Web) tools Simulates real-world educational modalities Two examples are Wikis and LMS.
6
Wiki is an expandable collection of interlinked web pages that allows any user to quickly and easily create and edit content. Example: WikipediaWikipedia Where the Wiki software Mediawiki is a free software open source wiki package written in PHP.
7
LMS is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content. In other words, it is a software system that delivers courseware plus e-tutoring over the Internet. Example: Moodle that is also free and open source.Moodle

Open Source Features Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software. It is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner.

Wiki and LMS With a wiki students are sharing information and experiences with peers, the teacher, and others. They can collaborate online with one another, work together as a group, and critique each other’s work. Wikis are used as discussion forums; where the participants explore specific topics of a short term nature or for general discussions. With this ability a wiki can supplement an existing Course / Learning Management System (CMS / LMS) or be used for discussion in place of such a system. (Kardong-Edgren et al., 2009). Through a wiki a learning community can be created among students and teachers which can be actively engaged in the learning process. The wiki also provides an effective communication tool among a group of learners.
10
Other issues While LMS can offer structured and complete courses as in the real world, a very important limiting feature of an LMS is that the interactions are only among the students / peers and the teachers / facilitators. On the other hand, Wikis and Social Networking sites can allow interactions with a much larger community.

Take Home Message A wiki is an easier option to familiarize oneself with the VLE. Subsequently, full fledged LMS may be necessary to simulate a real world class properly.
