6. eLISA JISC DeL 2005-06 eLearning Independent Study Award Build on results Collaborative work - University of Greenwich, Oxford University, Greenwich Council, schools and college 14- 19+ learners and practitioners - study skills LAMS & Moodle: 250+ learners c.20 teachers Beneficial work achieved – motivation, learning Link with Aimhigher/EiC CLC + WP projects Trialled learning design sequences with practitioners Built a community of pedagogic practice Trialled PLE (personalised learning environment)

7. CAMEL 2005-06 Collaborative Approaches to the Management of e-Learning Build on results Collaborative work – JISC infoNet, ALT, HEA, JISC, Universities of Greenwich and Staffordshire, Leeds College of Technology, Loughborough College. Four study visits to institutions to share practice Beneficial work achieved – collaboration, community of practice in effective management of e-learning Link with HEFCE leadership, governance funding Built a community of e-learning management practice

8. Findings

9. DfL Practitioner Individual case studies

11. CAMEL & eLISA encouraging initial findings: * benefits of collaborative CoP for practitioners in design for learning sustainable low-cost DfL case studies based on: * trust between partners * commitment and interest * distributed leadership * collaborative ethos * sharing re-usable resources

12. Some challenges * timescale and workloads * teachers don’t always want to share or re-create existing sequences * collaborative ethos may not fit in with institutional norms, trust building slowish

13. Nevertheless: * considerable opportunity for DfL * exciting potential new understandings re. pedagogy * high levels of engagement by practitioners.
