E-learning

e-Learning facilitates and supports student learning through the use of information and communication technologies. Flexible delivery methods are becoming increasingly important for both staff and students and can help to make learning opportunities and experiences accessible for all. The 2005 HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England) e-learning Strategy and the HEFCW (Higher Education Funding Council for Wales) Enhancement of Learning Strategy emphasised a shift towards using technology to enhance core teaching and learning activities, such as assessment.

The resources on these pages will help those interested in developing their practices in this area, supporting those developing technology based materials and those considering using technologies such as virtual learning environments to support the delivery of learning materials.
