learning is an experience that enhance the use of computers, laptops and any technological devices
connected with the internet from the side of the student and the lecturer but where they are not
connected physically. It can be referred as distance learning, but information is being send and received
via a medium.

Learning management system (LMS) is commonly use in virtual learning environment. It consists of
software application and web-based technology in order to plan, implement and asses specifics learning
processes. Learning management system provides a person that will deliver educational contents and
will monitor participation of students and assess their performances and behaviors. Learning
management system (LMS) may also provide students and teachers ability to use interactive features
such as threaded discussions, video conferencing and discussion forums.

Learning Management system (LMS) is beneficial to a wide range of organizations including educational
fields. They are also use in higher educational organizations and corporation for the gathering,
organizing, sharing and analyzing of an organization’s knowledge in terms of resources, documents and
people skills to use the internet and digital platform to share their knowledges and opinions. The
learning management system (LMS) allows users to store and tract information in one place. Any user

Visual learning is very important for one to advance in his or her career. With visual learning the person
reaching for knowledge via the online platform can engage better with the material received as they will
be comfortable with the location they choose for themselves to attain the class or information. During
moment where physical school is inaccessible for students to continue to have proper education and
training programs virtual learning can help the instructors to reach their students and help them with
notes and information on the programs they are taking. For example, Corona virus has brought
lockdown around the world and school and colleges have been closed. The only way to reach students
and assess them is through a virtual platform. With the help of the virtual platform information will be
send to students, they will have access to explanation and have activities that will denote their
performances.

Virtual learning can bring many benefits to education. Data and information is save on the learning
management system and be accessible to students and any time and at any location. If the students has
been unable to attend a certain class they can have the necessary information that have been stored on
the website and can refer back to the notes to understand what they missed. Thus every students are
having the same type of information without any inequalities and discrimination. The student can have
the information immediately or even offline if the content is available for download. Thus the person
has a flexible time to attend the course even if they are working or have other issues. The content is
available at any time to help them understand the concept of the module or class.
Visual learning also encourages and communication between the tutors and the students. With the help
of digital platform, students can have access to international professionals and students and have
additional information. Students who are less assertive and have low self confidence to ask question and
talk in class among all the classmates may have better opportunity to participate in class discussions
when communicating online. Working from their own choice of environment, with self-paced learning,
the result can be a more personalized learning experience. Rather than waiting for days or weeks
immediate feedback can be received through virtual learning. Videos, charts and images are also use to
promote visual learning and they can be accessible and revisited when necessary.

With visual learning a person can fall in his educations rather than climb the ladders of success. It can
dwindle the attention span of one person. For example when a person is following the virtual class he or
she may open others windows on the browser and become multi task, they tend to do other things
while the tutor may be explaining the subject. Thus their full focus is diverted and they may not
understand fully what they were explained. Some students may tend to play games while being taught
online when the virtual class get boring and thus concentrating more on the game rather than the class
and if the class is not being done one video conference the tutor may not know if the students are really
concentrating on his or her explanation and sometimes it may happen they are explaining in vain where
no one is really paying attention to them. Thus if the class was done in a physical classroom the tutor
would had been able to monitor the students behaviors and access their performance directly by
watching them.

In conclusion virtual learning can be both useful and a waste of time for a student of a tutor. It requires
full attention by both the student and the tutor in order to provide good encoding and decoding of a
message through the medium of visual learning. If visual learning is approached in a positive way it can
bring many positive changes in the educational field but if approached wrongly it can decrease the
success of many learners. Virtual learning is a modern way of education that will be abide slowly but
surely to everyone with time.
