“e-learning”
“e-learning”
“E-Learning can be defined as 'learning facilitated and supported through the use of information and communications technology'. It can cover a spectrum of activities from the use of technology to support learning as part of a ‘blended’ approach (a combination of traditional and e-learning approaches), to learning that is delivered entirely online. Whatever the technology, however, learning is the vital element.”
JISC, 2012
“[In the digital age] learners are no longer seen as passive recipients of knowledge and skills but as active participants in the learning process”
Beetham & Sharpe, 2007
“new culture of learning”Thomas & Seely-Brown, 2011
“The term ‘technology enhanced learning’ is gaining favour since it emphasises how technology adds value to learning”
JISC, 2009
Technology enables…
Connectivity to information and to others
24/7 access to learning resources
Greater choice over time, place and pace of study
Knowledge-sharing and co-authoring
Active learning through interactive technologies and multimedia resources
Participation in communities of knowledge, inquiry and learning
Development of skills for living and working in a digital age
Concerns
Staying up to date?
The digital literacy/competency of students and staff.
Access to tools and technologies outside of the University.
Technology driving pedagogy – ‘playing with new tools’.
Strategy and motivations for engagement.

What could your department and/or the University do
differently?
E-Learning Strategy• Embedded within
business processes and strategic developments
E-Learning Architecture• Interoperability between
different systems
E-Learning Pedagogy• Technology alone does
not facilitate learning
Greller’s Three Pillars of E-Learning
Strategy
E-Learning Strategy updated every three years
Regularly updated implementation plans
Approved by the E-Learning Strategy Group (ELSG)

Architecture
Infrastructure encompasses Moodle, Student Data System (SDS), Timetabling (OTIS), online module catalogue and library systems.
Moodle and Learning Technologies Group (MaLT) is the operational wing of ELSG and brings together representatives from the CD team, Information Services and the library.
Track record of developing open source tools and technologies and tailoring these to suit the needs of the University.
Pedagogy
The application of technology to enhance the learning and teaching experience.
Looking at tools that suit the pedagogy.
