e-Learning Benchmarking Launch (with prizes!)
 |
 |
Today, after four months of preparation, CLT finally launched Chichester’s e-Learning Benchmarking Project. We are one of twenty-five universities taking part in Phase II of this national exercise which is coordinated by HEA and JISC. The aim of the exercise is to look at e-learning while asking three questions:
- where we are now?
- where would we like to be?
- how can we get there?
We are using a range of research tools, including online & paper surveys for staff and students, interviews of key personnel, document analysis and ‘events’. These include Big Brother Video Booths run by the Student Union at both Chichester & Bognor, and focus groups. The exercise finishes in December, when we have to provide both an internal and external report on our findings. Further details can be found in the Benchmarking Blog, which can be found here.
It is hoped that everyone in the University will be able to be involved in the exercise and eventually benefit from its findings. As an added inducement, we are offering a prize draw for both the staff and student surveys, with prizes of vouchers totaling several hundred pounds! There are links from the front page of Portia.
