From the initial hosting of 33 "virtual classes" during the first semester of 2001, it has since hosted close to 880 classes for 16,953 users as of September 2008.
From the initial hosting of 33 "virtual classes" during the first semester of 2001, the old UVLe had since hosted close to 880 classes for 16,953 users as of September 2008. It got to version 2.3.3, with advanced features indicated on its Change Log. Old UVLe's beta release was on Nov 13, 2000. There was an attempt to recode UVLe (see [https://java.net/projects/uvle3/sources/svn/show UVLe 3.0 java code on Subversion]) but it was never implemented.


While UVLe is now on Moodle code base, it has a long history of technical innovation. (See Old UVle's [http://uvle-old.up.edu.ph/changelog.html changelog].) The pre-Moodle UVLe is now known as "old UVLe" and is no longer supported by the UPCC. The current UVLe was launched on October 6, 2008, on the occasion of DILC's 5th anniversary.

ILC Diliman now operates and supports the new UVLe.


UVLe 2.0 was released on April 11, 2011. Versioning with the revitalized UVLe, however, is different from that of the old one with a different code base. Now it closely follows Moodle versioning.


UVLe 2.5 was released on June 2013. A number of features like the Dock and certain plugins are unique to UVLe.


UVLe 2.6.2 was released on April 23, 2014. In this version, the first integration of Big Blue Button for web conferencing (now called BBB Conference) was implemented. UVLe 2.6.4 was released on March 15, 2015.

While UVLe 2.7+ is maintained, ILC Diliman is conducting revamps in the interface and features of UVLe. The UVLe 3.0 Beta was released on September 25, 2017. It was the first beta release of UVLe. The beta version ended on October 15, 2017. Secured UVLe connection was implemented on October 23, 2017 such that login credentials of UVLe users are encrypted in the network.


==Roadmap==
UVLe 3.1.7 was released on January 12, 2018 as an upgraded version of UVLe 3.0 Beta. It was another LTS version of UVLe. In this version, specialized features were implemented including the UVLe Integration Module which allows course creation in CRS (Computerized Registration System). During this period, UVLe mobile app was already unsupported and unstable. Because of this, UVLe 3 was released as a fully mobile responsive and a progressive web application to provide mobile experience to users.
