This paper describes a mathematical model of virtual learning environment considering both technology and users. Recognized interested users are teachers, parents and students. Interaction between interested parties in elementary and high school education process is presented by using complexity science. The idea is to model and create educational virtual environment that would attract engagement of all parties. Initial engagement would be motivated with the e-grade book. After initial involvement of seeing grades, the users would be motivated for further involvement using forums, blogs, and chats to interact with each other in one place. This would lead to creating groups of students or parents with similar problems and interests. For example, why is mathematics so hard to some students, and for other not? The created virtual environment will enable teachers to additionally inform parents of existing e-learning materials. Virtual environment is modelled as multilevel, multidimensional educational environment, considering communication of all participants, and every aspect of technology that could improve that communication.

This chapter discusses theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of a design of a university learning environment for SMART education. Smart technology is analyzed against university background. The authors consider a process of transformation from e-learning to smart education, in particular the VLE objective according to the concept of smart education, formation of individual learning trajectories in a smart environment and a quality university educational environment for smart education. In the second part of chapter, the authors look at the development of teacher ICT competence of teachers in the system of smart education and present their conclusions. The references include more than thirty items: articles, books, chapters, conference proceedings on SMART education, university learning environment, virtual learning environment (VLE).

Recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provide an opportunity to build a self growing and sharing virtual environment for teaching and learning. Cloud computing is one of the latest technological advancement in ICT domain. Cloud computing technologies have changed the way applications are developed and accessed. A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a system for delivering learning materials to students via the web. Cloud computing is provides one of the most emerging cost effective solution for virtual learning and teaching environment. This paper discusses how cloud computing has been contributing to virtual learning environment and an overview of the current state of the structure of Cloud Computing based e-learning is discussed. The readers will also find a brief overview of cloud computing and the different efficient cloud based virtual learning models. Towards the end different offers from different cloud vendors are discussed.

The article characterizes modern approaches to teaching information disciplines in a virtual environment of teaching establishment. The concept of virtual learning environment is defined. The interpretation of communicative and communication competence is presented. The main directions of indirect pedagogical communication in the virtual learning environment of computer science disciplines are described. The communicative requirements to the organization of training of computer science disciplines on the basis of the virtual learning environment are analyzed and defined. The structure of communicative and communication competence is described. Identified the tools by which indirect learning is implemented in a virtual learning environment. A partial teaching methodology is proposed, which is implemented in a virtual learning environment. The structure of electronic educational and methodical complexes are characterized, which includes autonomous, local and distance educational courses and methodical support for their use in a specific computer science discipline placed in a virtual learning environment. The components of electronic educational and methodical complexes that reflect the author's concept of formation of communicative competencies and provide the implementation of the methodical system of teaching computer science disciplines in the virtual learning environment are analyzed. The method of teaching computer science disciplines in a virtual environment is described.

XX–XXI century technological breakthrough created a new ideology and philosophy of education that influenced all education system: new teaching and learning measures have created new teaching methods. Education of nowadays is associated with the use of information and communication tools. We often mentioned the words “virtual learning”, “distance learning” or “e-learning”. In general, these terms can be regarded as synonymous, because they generally mean a distance learning. Predicting the perspective of distance learning for this type of education has been established a special software that provides the proper functioning of various e-measures. This program is called open source virtual environments development software (usually just a “virtual learning environment” or in short VLE). In the period of 1996–2000 virtual learning environment has been created for distance education. In Lithuania the use of the virtual learning environment is growing. Almost all high schools have their own virtual environment. The interesting of VLE is growing and in the secondary schools. That is why it is important to find out what motivates teachers to use or not to use VLE. This article aims to analyze the geography teachers‘ attitudes towards education by using a VLE. The survey revealed that most of teachers, which are working with the VLE, indicates that virtual learning environment is useful, unlike teachers, who do not use VLE. They guess that virtual learning environment is useful only partly. Many teachers began using VLE to improve their classification and to make their traditional way of teaching more interesting. Teachers indicate that the VLE is improving learning process and its results, because teaching becomes interactive and therefore more interesting, resulting in increased motivation for learning.
