Building on from the presentation you have seen ,
which is based on one SHA’s experience of
implementing a VLE, what do you think the main
issues would be for the implementation of a
possible national system using the following
Option headings with a SWOT format for each
Option:
A. Ask NILSI to negotiate to buy a VLE for the whole of the NHS – 10
mins
B. Ask NILSI to encourage and support organisations to buy their own
VLEs – 10 mins
C. Ask NILSI to support the development of e-learning content not
VLEs – 10 mins
