The Nuffield e-learning project was launched on Friday 3rd October 2008 at the celebration of the international activities of the Leeds Institute of Health Sciences and the 30th anniversary of the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development. The objectives are to enhance teaching quality for our present students through e-learning and develop distance learning options for those who are unable to leave their family and work commitments to attend courses in Leeds

E-Learning was introduced in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Glasgow, when the Computer-aided Learning In Veterinary Education (CLIVE) consortium was established as a TLTP II project in 1993. Glasgow is part of the consortium and has strong links with the other UK veterinary schools.

The Learning & Teaching Development Unit (LTDU) is spear-heading the e-learning initiative at Brunel University. Since the university-wide launch of u-Link (Brunel's virtual learning environment) at the beginning of the 2007/8 academic year, we have seen the number of students using web-based technology as an integral part of their courses increase substantially.

The University recognises that e-learning has the potential to transform the learning experience. By supporting active and interactive learning, it means that learning can become more student-centred and student-led.

This strategy assists the delivery of the University Learning and Teaching Strategy by promoting eLearning as a pedagogically driven initiative to enhance those learning experiences traditionally offered by Durham. It outlines the future plans and directions of the University's flexible, electronically supported, learning opportunities for all students and staff. This strategy defines a University-wide vision for supporting and developing existing and future electronically supported Learning and Assessment opportunities (later referred in this document with a prefix of ‘e'). While this strategy's primary focus is on learning, it broadly relates to all aspects of the student experience. We consulted on our draft strategy for eLearning in January 2008, via University Learning and Teaching Committee, Graduate School Committee, Faculty Learning and Teaching Committees, Heads of House and Senior Tutors' committees and the IT Strategy working group. This strategy should be considered along with the Durham University IT vision and upon its availability the IT strategy.

While E-Learning (or Web-based Learning) provides unprecedented flexibility and convenience to both the learners and the instructors, the inherited instructor-centered education model has been confronted with great challenge in this open, large-scale and distributed e-learning environment. Actually, the huge number of e-learners and its wide dispersion make it difficult or even impossible for the instructors to cater to each e-learner individually. As a result, in this project we mainly focus on creating a cooperative e-learning environment to enhance the collaboration between individual e-learners, enable them to be aware of the presence of appropriate partners, get to know each other, share useful learning resources and experiences, and finally increase the learning efficiency and performance.

“E-learning is learning which is enhanced, supported, mediated or assessed by the use of electronic media. E-learning may involve the use of new or established technology and/or the creation of new learning material; it may be deployed both locally and at a distance”.(E-Learning Strategy group June 2007) The University has stated through the Academic Strategy that one of its key objectives is to promote innovation in learning and teaching, including increasing the use of e-learning.
