Study of environments to support e-Learning
The JISC’s Managed Learning Environments (MLEs) Lifelong Learning
programme has been looking at Building MLEs across FE and HE and
has funded several major projects to explore the issues related to
developing learning environments to support the seamless movement of the
learner between and across sectors and institutions.
This study, based on the 2003 study 'Managed Learning
Activity in Further and Higher Education in the UK,' has been
undertaken to update the picture of issues of integration of business
processes, services and systems in support of learning and teaching within
UK Further and Higher Education institutions.
The research
The study was completed by JISC and UCISA from a consortium of research
organisations led by the Social Informatics Research Unit at the University
of Brighton, and was overseen by a Reference Group with key sector
representatives. The key tasks of the Reference Group were to ensure that
where questions were made there was a clear progression and justification
from the previous survey, and that changes in the sector were appropriately
reflected. The most obvious change was the shift in terminology from MLEs
to environments which support e-learning. The research methods included a
national survey of all FE and HE institutions attracting an overall
response rate of 32%, and consultation with key stakeholder groups.
Final Report
Consultation
JISC invited feedback on the report from key stakeholder
organisations. Two responses were received, one from the Heads of
e-Learning Forum (HeLF) and one from the Association of Learning
Technology (ALT)
