implementing e-learning Introduction

Structure and Content

The issues are complex and interwoven, and are presented at different levels - you choose how far to drill down into the detail. The layers of detail are represented on the mapping diagram below:

The materials - particularly at the resource level - are synthesised from a variety of different sources, and although many are hosted on the main JISC infoNet site some links will take you to external sources. At this stage in its evolution there are some gaps in the available resources (notably in the 'Costing' and 'Review' areas); we will be working on guidance to address these too and in the meantime we point you towards any interim material that is available.

The structure deliberately addresses both the FE and HE sectors (although there may be sector-specific materials in the resource layer) as the issues are similar to both. We positively encourage practitioner-sharing across the sectors and the guidance very much emphasises the need to constantly remind ourselves that it is the learner that lies at the heart of these investments. We believe the strategic aims across both sectors to be similar in their concerns about getting value for money and getting something that enhances teaching, learning and, depending on the institution, research.
