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.
