| The motivation to publish the Handbook for Quality and Standardisation in ELearning has its origin in numerous discussions during the last few years with colleagues from all over the world, in research projects, from universities or on policy level. They gave us the chance to learn that quality for e-learning on the one hand is of utmost importance and on the other hand is a field of great uncertainty. How to achieve high quality e-learning experiences is still subject to investigations and highly dependent on the context considered. During several voyages through the quality landscape we had the opportunity to look at successful models and learn from sophisticated strategies. The handbook is intended to be a travel diary in the best sense of the term. It covers the state-of-the-art of current burning questions and discussions around the field of quality in e-learning in order to help stakeholders in the e-learning scene in their every day quest for quality.
When you really get down to analysing it, the promises of e-learning often have yet to materialise. The question how e-learning can be successful becomes more urgent as we move from an ‘early adopter’ stage to a more general offering. In a global educational market, for e-learning it is critically important to gain understanding of quality in e-learning. Many different concepts and approaches have been developed so far for many different contexts and purposes. The Handbook on Quality and Standardisation in E-Learning provides a European and global perspective on these issues. It involves all important actors and draws a picture of the situation in quality development. The Handbook is directed to learners, professionals, researchers and policy makers in e-learning. It covers topics of a rather foundational nature in quality research, the description of quality approaches and instruments as well as experiences and best practises. It is structured into three main parts dealing with methods, standards and practical experiences. |
