Overview

The Centre for Learning and Teaching is involved in a number of eLearning initiatives designed to support online pedagogical teaching and assessment practices, instructional design, and integration of instructional tools and technologies with teaching practice.

eLearning is defined as “an approach to teaching and learning… based on the use of electronic media and devices as tools for improving access to training, communication, and interaction, and that facilitates the adoption of new ways of understanding and developing learning” (Sangrà, Vlachopoulos, & Cabrera, 2012, p. 152).
