Evaluation report (word) on Innovating e-Learning 2007
The 2007 JISC online conference, Innovating e-Learning 2007: Institutional Transformation and Supporting Lifelong Learning, followed on from the highly successful 2006 conference. The themes of this year’s conference highlighted two very different perspectives on e-learning – the part technology plays in institutional change and the more personalised view of the lifelong learner. The themes were:
- Institutional transformation
- Supporting lifelong learning
