Access the power point presentation on the NIeL Partnership 

or the Annual Report for 2002-03

Partnership aims include:

  • Evaluating the feasibility of using online tools for e-learning.
  • Identifying the quality measures and standards which should apply to elearning.
  • Specifying the professional development needs of online educators.
  • Developing the mechanisms needed to operate an elearning service in Northern Ireland.

The Partnership sets out to produce, in the first instance:

  • A route-map for the development of elearning in Northern Ireland.
  • An evaluation framework and tools for elearning projects.
  • A specification for professional development for online educators.
  • An elearning quality and standards model.
  • Exemplification of success indicators.
  • A business case for a partnership-based elearning service and to encourage and to support some initial, high-quality exemplar elearning project.


The Partners are committed to helping everyone who is interested in elearning to:

  • Share, mutually and openly, information, good practice, evaluation and advice.
  • Avoid reinventing the digital wheel.
  • Find out what works best, and is in the best interests of the learning community here.
  • Identify and promote the highest standards in elearning.
