Second Annual Quality Assurance and Quality Enhancement in e-Learning Conference

  • Date: 14 Jun 2011
  • Start Time: 10:00 am
  • Location/venue: Fielder Centre University of Hertfordshire, AL10 9TP

This free one-day conference will explore challenges facing the sector in relation to assuring quality, whilst also enabling quality enhancement and innovation through technology enhanced learning (TEL). The event will explore the unsolved problems and try to identify some of the unknown issues.

Technologies impact on all aspects of the learning process, including teaching, assessment and communication. In light of changes in technologies and the changing role of e-learning within higher education, guidance and policies associated with quality assurance and quality enhancement of technology enhanced learning (TEL) need to be considered and reviewed.
The day will include;

  1. A keynote address from Ingeborg Bø, a member of the Board of Directors of European Foundation for Quality in E-learning (EFQUEL);
  2. Presentations from project teams who have been evaluating the QAQE toolkit (‘A Toolkit for Harnessing Quality Assurance Processes for Technology Enhanced Learning’), and;
  3. A presentation from members of the University of Hertfordshire who will guide delegates through the development of their law course from face- to–face to distance learning. 

 The day will conclude with a panel debate on future agendas.

Actively seeking your contributions to the QAQE debate, the day will include networking opportunities and participatory sessions and to explore practitioner needs.

Please note, the conference is being held the day before, and at the same venue as, the International Blended Learning Conference (IBLC) so if delegates attending the IBLC would like to attend the QAQE conference, they would be most welcome.
