About this site

Reporting on the e-Learning Programme.

The e-Learning Focus site aims to provide a route into the e-Learning Programme for the wider community. It will report on its results as they become available, and provide commentary, news and articles to support the work of the projects.

The ELF website provides a route into the technical development work of the Programme from a developer's point of view, and these two sites are complementary.

The core information on the Programme, including calls and project information may be found on the mainJISC e-Learning Programme site.

The Editors of this site are Sarah Holyfield and Christina Smart, who work closely with Sam Easterby-Smith, the Standards Support Officer, and Mark Power, the Web Support Officer, to provide support for the JISC eLearning Programme.

This team is based in JISC CETIS, at the University of Bolton.

Open Educational Content for Informal Learners: Beyond the Horizon?
This article by Paul Richardson of RSC Wales explores the world of Open Educational Resources from the perspective of informal learners. Paul argues that while open content offers many opportunities a number of barriers are preventing many informal adult learners from using these resources. The article explores technical issues, business models for resource production and the context of adult community learning, and suggests ways in which these barriers can be overcome.

The Pspex project: Creating a Curriculum management domain map
The Pspex project which started in April 2007 undertook "a case study based analysis of the business domain impacting and containing all interactions with Programme Specification production and usage". Developing a programme specification is a key part of creating new university courses, and yet the processes involved are often poorly understood within institutions. In this article Dr Samia Oussena, the Pspex project manager, and Professor Balbir Barn discuss the approach the project team took to domain modelling and the development of the problem frames technique. This article will be of interest to those modelling the curriculum design process in their institutions, particularly the current JISC projects in this area.
