- Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an online system that is designed to support teaching and learning activities via the Internet. Using this VLE you can access resources (teaching materials, past papers, etc.) to learn BIT courses online. In addition, you can communicate with other students and facilitators through forums and chat sessions.
- You are required to submit your online assignments through VLE. A few years back, VLE was called LMS (Learning Management System).
- For all the newly registered students of BIT, Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) access is given for Level I. It may take 1-2 weeks to activate the VLE (LMS) after registration.
- For Level II and Level III students, VLE will be activated once they renew their registrations.
- If the students need to access online courses in the VLE of previous years, it will be only activated at their request, free of charge. You are highly advised to request VLE access for any previous years, at the time of re-registration.
- If you have registered in the academic years 2000 -2019 of the BIT and repeating the following courses then you must request VLE access separately from the EDC, at the time of re-registration, as only the requested students will be given access to these courses.
