The learner experience of e-learning - 4 new, useful, brief guides from JISC

Last November I gave a plug for some JISC "Learner Experience of E-learning" (LEX) reports, by Linda Creanor and Kathryn Trinder from Glasgow Caledonian University, and Doug Gowan and Carol Howells from the Open Learning Partnership.

JISC has now published 4 useful short guides, each consisting of a 3 or 4 page ~100 kB PDF file, deriving from these LEX reports as well as from some other practical research funded by JISC under the same programme. They deserve to be widely read and used; and thanks to Ellen Lessner for tipping me off about them.

• Methods for evaluating the learner experience of e-learning;
• IT support and provision for learners;
• Designing courses and activities for e-learners;
• Recommendations for post-16 institutions on enhancing the learner experience of e-learning.
