Frances,
At Teesside we use model C&D. I.e. we have quality management,
academic and non-academic staff development, and education development
all under one roof. There is also some support within most, but not all
of our 6 academic schools. We try, but are only partly successful, to
co-ordinate activities between the centre and the various outposts of
progress in the schools. If we really got the co-ordination and funding
right, this would probably be the right module for this particular
institution.
Regards,
Bruce

Subject: How does your institution support e-learning? A quick response
needed.
(apologies if you've seen this on the SEDA, or WebCT-UK list) At
Coventry University we are investigating alternative institutional
models for supporting academic staff in their e-learning developments
This is for blended as well as distance learning support - but not
extensive materials production. I've outlined some general models below
and would be grateful if you could identify which (if any) you are
using, approximately how many e-learning support staff you have and also
which you would like to have.
1. Please mark one or more of the following, and state approximately how
many e-learning support staff you think are employed by your
institution:
Model A: central e-learning support within an information/computing
services unit Model B: central e-learning support within an educational
development/quality enhancement unit Model C: central e-learning support
within a staff development/human resources unit Model D:
departmental/faculty-based support Model E: central and
departmental/faculty-based support working in collaboration Model F:
other (please specify)
2. Irrespective of the model you currently employ, which do you think
would be best for your institution?
Further comments and insights into the way you operate this kind of
support are welcome. If I get a decent return, I will post a summary to
the list (this will respect anonymity)
Many thanks,
Frances
