Lessons Learned

Summary and Reflection

• For the future, it would be beneficial if some team building activities could be undertaken for e-learning staff and students.
• Administrative difficulties such as the granting of extensions for extenuating circumstances or suspension of studies need to be refined.
• The lack of induction for online students is also an issue which is currently under consideration.
• The recent e-learning benchmark exercise has enabled us to identify how we take e-learning forward as an institution.
• The flexible learning network through the Pathfinder Project will bring together existing expertise within the institution and embed our experience.
