Abstract
This study explored the impact of a virtual learning environment (VLE) on teachers’, students’ and parents’ attitudes and its use. Current research on online learning platforms has been conducted mainly in the higher education sector with limited research in primary schools. Understanding teachers’, students’, and parents’ attitudes in this new online learning environment can expose the potential benefits while also revealing the challenges. This study adopted a case study design, using a mixed-method approach. The findings revealed that the stakeholders held positive attitudes about its potential. However, a lack of access to the technology was a major factor impeding its use. Drawing on the voices of three stakeholders, this study has made a significant contribution to understanding the challenges faced by the Ministry of Education in implementing a VLE across the schooling sector.
