I couldn't agree more-but its a hard enough task persuading teams within a
single organisation that it is just another aspect of teaching/learning
rather than something with a life of its own or an added extra.  Surely it
should be seen as a vehicle for joined up thinking about such issues as
sharing resources, good practice, not doubling effort etc.  For most however
it is a steep learning curve!

        I agree that the e-learning agenda is fragmented with many groups
developing
        strategies etc. with apparently no overall coherence and probably
        re-inventing the wheel many times. Is e-learning not simply a subset
of the
        overall "learning agenda" rather than a "stand alone" process?

        See DfES press release today. I would hope that once post 16
strategy is
        complete, strategies for HE and pre-16 will be produced. This will
allow
        for cross-sectoral strategies rather than individual sector with
        differing agendas.

        It is amazing how many groups exist that are looking a e-Learning in
a
        not too joined up manner.
