I have just been looking at the JISC pages on e-learning pedagogy which contain some useful information. The aim of the e-Learning Programme is to improve the quality of e-learning across the post-16 and higher eduaction sectors. The Programme focuses on four areas: e-learning and Pedagogy; Technical Framework and Tools for e-Learning; Innovation and Distributed e-Learning.
I find the e-learning and pedagogy most interesting as that is my main focus of work. There is a whole page of information about their outcomes so far (a bit old now as it was published in 2004) with links at the bottom to lots of resources.
The section on effective practice in e-learning is backed up with a series of resources and case studies and there area a series of national workshops to take this forward. They are called “Planning and Evaluating Effective Practice with e-Learning” and I am going to one of these at Birmingham in January.
Perhaps I will have more to say when I have been to the workshop.
