Introduction

An initiative funded by the JISC Learning and Teaching committee, the JISC
e-Learning Programme brings together a diverse range of communities: practitioners in further and higher education and adult and community learning, software and infrastructure developers and the research community. Its aim is to widen understanding of effective approaches to e-learning and of the tools and applications that support it.

The programme contains four strands:

e-Learning and Pedagogy
Technical Framework and Tools for e-Learning
e-Learning and Innovation
Distributed e-Learning
