  1. e-Learning session: agenda • Craig Wentworth, Development Director, JISC – Overview of the e-Learning Capital Programme • Sarah Davies, Programme Manager, JISC – The e-Learning call for proposals • Questions and answers on the call • Professor Mark Stiles, Staffordshire University – e-Learning projects for the “real world”

  2. e-Learning Capital Programme Craig Wentworth Development Director

  3. e-Learning Programme • JISC’s core e-Learning programme aims to identify how e-learning can benefit learners, practitioners and educational institutions, and advise on its implementation. • The e-learning activity within the Capital Programme will complement and build upon the core activities, with a focus on helping institutions to meet the diverse needs of learners throughout their lives.

  4. e-Learning Programme goals • Improved quality of e-learning in the UK • Practitioners with confidence and skills in managing and facilitating e-learning in different contexts and with different pedagogic approaches • A technical infrastructure that supports flexibility, diversity and extendibility • Easy access to high quality, flexible learning materials • Effective and responsive e-learning policies systems and structures in place at local, regional and national level

  5. e-Learning Programme • Four strands • e-Learning pedagogy • e-Learning framework and tools • Innovations in e-learning • Distributed e-learning + SFC Transformation Programme • The new capital work builds on the existing programme and we are encouraging synergies between the strands. • Also links with other JISC Development work in repositories, e-infrastructure and user environments.

  6. Expansion • The e-Learning programme has expanded significantly over the past 2-3 years • Projects funded 40 –140 projects • Project length 2-3 yrs to 6mths to 3yrs • Annual Budget from £3m to over £10m • Better integration with JISC development and advisory services • Strategic partnerships with • Funders significantly HEFCE, SFC, DfES • Agencies e.g. Becta, Academy, QCA, UCAS

  9. Activities • Projects using technology to support lifelong learners in real contexts: collaborative & regional projects; HE in FE projects; plus knowledge exchange • Technical development and implementation: reference models and demonstrators in key areas; e-admin feeding into collaborative projects • Collaborative activities with Academy Subject Centres on e-portfolios, sharing learning resources, e-learning tools, use of digitised resources • Work with HE Academy to provide more effective information flow to sector on e-learning • Work with research councils and HE Academy on e-L research
