Abstract

The Virtual Learning Environment is becoming a popular learning platform among various educational institutions in delivering a vibrant and effective learning environment. It enables many school libraries to perform their role in improving services and supporting the school community. The researcher examined the status of Brighton College Abu Dhabi Library’s VLE based on users’ preferences and usage. The researcher surveyed pupils, teachers, and administrators and used frequency distribution to show results. The findings revealed how the library VLE could further be improved and marketed to strengthen its value to the community. Along with this, the included sample of the library VLE content structure and each content’s description can serve as a guide in designing a library VLE.
