Collaborative Learning Environments Hosting

What is a Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE)?

“CLE” is substituted for the more commonly used CMS, LMS, or VLE to emphasize the importance of collaboration and sharing in learning. These mission critical systems not only support online courses, but now include portals, ePortfolios, online communities, object repositories, research groups, and live VoIP conferencing learning spaces.
