“…This theory has been well argued and recent studies [14], [15] conclude that the unequal access to information systems is no longer solely due to connectivity and infrastructure; however also consider innovative technology and devices being used. The high dependency on mobility is leading to a faster adoption of digital technologies and is therefore presenting new dimensions to the notion of digital divide [16].…”

“…Through localized modification of a VLE's digital content, adapted views are provided conforming to the learning activity and device used. This has lead numerous VLEs, such as the popular Moodle, to adopt optimization techniques [15], which are based on previous research on context-aware mobile computing [14]. This is achieved by studying the user's environment for personalization although it only considers the connection speed which does not constitute a realistic execution.…”

-Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are required to be highly effective and easy to use as they serve as the primary institutional portal between students and academics. There are currently a number of challenges that are caused due to the modernized digital divide, with a significant limitation being the inability of information systems to adapt to the users' technological platform, broadband quality and device in use to access the online system. This paper focuses on the limitations that students encounter when accessing VLEs within Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs). This research aims to primarily review and provide critical analysis of current VLE frameworks, as well as assess restrictions based on several demographics including content adaptation and technical aspects. An algorithmic system is developed to analyze students' individualistic needs, undertake adaption and personalization of the VLE, and hence ensure consistent and efficient access to academic web resources and functionalities.

Abstract-Virtual laboratories have evolved into an adequately mature educational tool for multiple fields of study. Their use is especially beneficial to modern topics such as modern wireless communications. Related solutions in this field explored various approaches and architectures in designing such a virtual environment. The presented software package combines these fragmentary conclusions to a holistic and extensible laboratory architecture. Classic and modern topics, such as propagation, green networking, indoor communications and sensor networks are discussed through interactive 2D/3D environments. The student is also introduced to field measurement procedures and ray tracing principles. Statistical assessment in the context of a postgraduate course in wireless communications demonstrates the educational benefits of the approach.Index Terms-virtual laboratory, holistic approach, wireless communications, sensor networks.
