experience of students.
Objectives:
 To understand the concept of virtual learning environment.
 To identify the methods of virtual learning.

Literature review
Concept of virtual learning environment
Pererva and et.al., (2020) said that virtual learning is used for learning and teaching. It is majorly
used for educational purposes. Virtual learning includes all kinds of courses which are reading
resources, online courses, other information sites etc. digital learning which also comes under
virtual learning. Teachers are using video and images so that students can understand the course

technology is evolving the concept of teaching and learning is taking place with the help of
technologies. This is the modern way of learning and with this learning is happening fast and

recorded lectures. There are other type of blended learning also in which students are given topic
by teacher in advance and students have to study about topic. After studying students can interact
with teachers and ask any doubts if they have.
Association between virtual learning environment and students learning experience
As per Ryan and Poole (2019) virtual learning environment is providing multiple benefits to the
