INTRODUCTION
Digital skills relate to individual's ability to make full application of the internet. Getting
brilliant in it has becoming very essential for all because now everything is digitized and have
become a fundamental requirement (Khedher, Jraidi and Frasson, 2019). The study involves
analysis of effective use of modern techniques to enhance productivity and employment
opportunities in the workplace. Following study will address the effects of virtual learning on
students in University of Wales-Trinity Saint David London Campus. It further covers
identification and collection of appropriate information usage of primary as well as secondary
methods in context of data collection with aims to understand topic more effectively.
MAIN BODY
Aim:
The core aim of the study is to effectively analyse the different impacts of mode of virtual
learning environment Moodle on students' experiences of learning in context of University of
Wales-Trinity Saint David, London.
Rationale:
Today, it becomes crucial for various institutions to update their studying and teaching
patterns with the progression of technological advances. This is for students' advantage as they
need to be prepared according to their future criteria. because of it, this is important to examine
the effect of digital skill and learnings in learners / students so that improvements in the various
institutions are implemented accordingly.
Objectives:
Here, are main objectives of Study, as listed below:
 To understand and analyse the main concept of digital virtual learning.
 To ascertain the effects of virtual-digital learning on learning programme and experience
of students.
Questions:
 What is core concept of virtual-digital learning?
 What is key effect of virtual-digital learning on campus' students?

Scope:
The subject selected for research has broad scope since almost all currently is done via
digital technological innovation in the contemporary world as well as has facilitated the job.
Users will get to understand how learning process has affected and managed to change. More
data should be needed as the secondary and primary sources are used to better explain the
framework in more depth.
Literature Review
Concept of virtual learning
As per Veronica Racheva (2017), virtual learning can be defined as a learning experience
which is enhanced by utilisation of computers and various applications of internet. It could be
facilitated within as well as outside the university campus or any other educational or teaching
institution for providing an online environment to learners (What is virtual learning?, 2017).
Using of various applications to encourage the processes of learning and make the instructional
process more efficient and engaging for students, where both learners and teachers are physically
separated from each other, in terms of time, place and location. In other terms, learning
conducted within a virtual learning environment has provided a number of key benefits, such as
remote access for an unlimited array of education which can be offered worldwide. Along with
this, it also provide individualised type of learning process, which takes into consideration at
individual needs, personal level of competence and various learning styles (Eom, 2019). Cost
and time effectiveness, flexible learning, safe & securing learning environment are some main
characteristics of virtual learning technique.
Effect of virtual-digital learning on campus' students
According to Dexaway (2019), e-learning or virtual learning process is considered as the
most rising concept in today's educational institution. It aids students in engaging with
multimedia content, as per their convenience, where they do not need to go anywhere by simply
log in to online application (5 Reasons Why Online Learning is more Effective, 2019). Another
main factor is that online courses are easily accessible within small budgets, that helps students
to enrol in virtual environment in more effective manner (Gunawan and et. al., 2018). As
compared to traditional courses, e-learning platform offers various materials via multimedia, that
proves beneficial for students in enhancing their learning skills and grab more knowledge about a

specified course. Engagement of students and their retention rates are also higher in virtual
environment of learning (Parong and Mayer, 2018). Frequent assessments and less time
investment provides an ongoing process while learning, that reduces distraction as well.
Primary Research
Methodology
In order to take feedback of learners on how Moodle and VLE (virtual environment of
learning) helps in them in grabbing knowledge and improve learning skills, a questionnaire
method is chosen. This would help in gathering primary data and addressing the main objectives
more efficiently. For this purpose, 30 students have been chosen randomly of University of
Wales-Trinity Saint David, London, in following way –
