Abstract
This project will focus on the limitations distance learning students encounter when they are required to access virtual learning environments (VLEs) from developing countries. Ideally, every student accessing a VLE should share the same experience regardless of their geographical location or broadband connectivity strength. Currently, the main limitation is the ability of information systems to adapt to the users depending on their technological platform, broadband quality and geographical location.
