Description
The final report of HEFCE’s Online Learning Task Force. It concludes that online learning can deliver quality and be cost-effective while meeting student demands for flexible learning. The report documents sixteen successful and diverse case studies of institutional and consortia provision, with varying combinations of online, blended and on-campus UK experience, that provide models for competing with overseas and private institutions in the provision of higher education courses. Recommendations made to institutions and the wider HE sector include: using online learning to enhance student choice; realignment training and development; developing and exploiting open educational resources.
