Informative tool is anything that shares messages, information and ideas in the form of video, graphics, text, image, animation and audio. It help us to share, teach and spread concepts or information.

Additionally, informative tool assist us through crucial announcements made, provide links for scholarships and many valuable details that we require professionally or personally. We have informative tools like websites, online databases, educational software and interactive simulations. These tools mainly aim to display information in a precise, clear and accessible manner. From many useful informative tools available, I would like to narrate about Learning Management System on Virtual Learning Environment(VLE) that we constantly use in our college for maximum works.
