e-Administration to support Teaching and Learning
Aim
The aim of our work in this area is to help institutions use administrative technology more effectively to offer more flexible, seamless, high-quality learning opportunities for lifelong learners, and to lessen the administrative burden on staff.
Overview of development activities
Although it has not been explicitly referred to as e-administration, JLT has been carrying out work in this area for some time, since at least the Building MLEs in HE programme (1999-2002.) Most of the projects under the MLEs for Lifelong Learning Programme had a strong administrative slant, and further work has been carried out under the toolkits and demonstrators within the Framework and Tools strand, and the reference models and regional pilots within the Distributed e-Learning Programme.
Our recent work in this area falls under the following themes:
- The use of technology to support admissions to higher education
- Course management: specification, validation and description
- Support of lifelong learning
- Technical toolkits and demonstrators (enterprise services)
