The Newcastle VTLE (Virtual Teaching & Learning Platform) is a collaborative project between Newcastle LA and our schools. The overall aim is to provide a Teaching and Learning Platform to all schools that can support stated aims within both ‘Harnessing Technology’ and ‘Fulfilling the Potential’ which focus on Raising Standards by embedding ICT and e-learning firmly in the delivery of teaching and learning throughout the curriculum.

The VTLE provides for teachers an on-line opportunity to manage their teaching and learning resources in one location. They can collect together PowerPoints, photographs, worksheets etc and organise them for classroom presentation. Opportunities for learning beyond the classroom can also be integrated allowing home access to information and resources for pupils, where appropriate.
