Scaling Up Online Learning

 

A Jisc project working with the UK academic community to understand the barriers stopping institutions from adopting more online learning and find the best solutions to address those problems.  This wiki was created as a space to develop the Online Learning Toolkit - one of the solutions that the community has identifiedIf you have been invited to contribute to the wiki and have never used one before then you may find The PBworks Manual helpful.

Final outputs

We produced a series of guides and a practical checklist tool as an outcome of this work.

 

Our series of guides will help your staff understand the decisions they need to make and the processes involved around scaling up online learning at an organisational level.

 

They will also help ensure that online students receive an equitable service and student experience to their campus-based peers. Specifically:

 

This series of guides provides insight into the range of factors that contribute to ongoing capacity. They offer tools, techniques, strategies and activities at institutional, strategic and delivery levels to support the development and provision of online/distance learning programmes.

 

All three guides indicate the barriers and actions you can take as well as illustrated examples from institutions that have developed useful approaches to overcoming the barriers.

Use our checklist (Word docx) which highlights key questions you may be considering for online learning provision. Your institution may be planning to adopt new models of online or distance learning or may be integrating online learning into existing courses. This checklist can be useful for both scenarios. 

 

The checklist provides groups of related questions that could be considered by teams, committees or individuals. Some of the questions require institution-wide consideration, whilst others may also need to be considered at a departmental or course team level. The checklist includes strategic and operational aspects as well as more specific questions for individual courses, modules or learning activities.
