E‐learning: engagement, enhancement and execution

Explores the practical and theoretical issues involved in the evaluation, quality assurance and engagement of operating an e‐learning programme as a distance learning service on an international basis for people in employment. Focuses on the experiences of delivery of e‐learning of a case at the University of Wales, Lampeter that has been adapted from a project into mainstream provision. Suggests that the current emphasis of the prefix “e” in learning application needs to shift from electronic to the more supportive descriptions of engagement, enhancement and execution of the student learning programme. Reviews the current quality assurance recommendations in the context of e‐learning. Concludes with the evidence emerging from the particular case of e‐learning provision at Lampeter and the key findings of the programme.
