It is vital to have a reference library for any learning environments. This motivates the need of a digital library for VLE. Digital library has to be capable of providing much information/reference to a student. Thus, it decides an aim of large content providing. To manipulate contents easily, they are organized based on each subject of each grade. Digital library contents for each subject are publications by Education Department of SriLanka (syllabus, teacher's guide, textbooks) and model/past exam papers. This digital library for VLE is accessible for all who connects through internet. There are no privileges restrictions.

There are different technologies, methodologies and tools to implement virtual learning environments. But, selecting an appropriate and sustainable way to produce our virtual learning environments is more important to achieve our ultimate aim. Usual aspects, which constructs a VLE, are question banks, video lectures, explanations through animations, online testing or experimenting tools. There has no boundary to confine this as it evolves by time. Once a new trend or tool is identified, that will be included. More or less a student should feel a classroom environment virtually.

A student feel comfortable with his/her learning as there occurs useful interactions. Peer-to-peer learning and social collaborative learning form this environments. Peer-to-peer learning happens through peer evaluation and peer knowledge supporting. This captures a particular area of virtual learning.
