The document discusses an e-learning benchmarking project conducted by the Educational Development Unit at Nottingham Trent University. The project involved focus groups and surveys of staff and students to gather data on e-learning practices, support, skills, and attitudes. The results will be used for internal benchmarking and future course marketing. The university also selected a new virtual learning environment called Desire2Learn to replace the previous system and support a rich, flexible online learning environment.

Editor's Notes
- Background: links to a JISC funding bid and in collaboration with HEA Phase 1 of the HEA’s eLearning benchmarking exercise In accord with the terms of the ILTES Aims: The aim of the exercise is the acquisition of baseline data that will enable NTU to: make comparisons with similar UK HEIs benchmark progress internally to assess strengths and weaknesses in e-learning training and provision help inform planning, progress and decision-making. Allow NTU to fully participate in learning technology related research and provide a marketing tool for a range of blended learning course provision What did we want to know? Using responses from academic staff and students: to take a snapshot of e-learning as practiced within NTU Specifically: Staffing infrastructure Learning technology infrastructure Pedagogic support infrastructure Levels of eLearning implementation identify the way in which e learning is currently used in each department at UoB and to determine future support needs.

- What we did – all the team was involved Formulation: In liaison with LTCs, members of the academic liaison team and a model survey, formulated a series of questions for focus groups. Focus Groups: Using these questions conducted 14 focus group sessions amongst students and staff on a voluntary basis from all schools. These were taped and transcripts made. As an incentive, we offered a prize draw of two ipod nanos for participation. Then, the analysis of the focus groups was undertaken. Created an online survey to gain responses from staff and students and collate the results as tables
- Results Produce reports based on survey data aligned to NTU and HEA perspectives an NTU eLearning Benchmarking Report for the SMT now in its the final stages of submission to SMT confidential reports to be prepared for the Dean of each School a Report for the HEA publication of a summary of results in Grapevine Mention the ILTES EDU gains Skills in conduct of focus groups and online surveys Focussed contact with staff and students throughout NTU schools Wider view of issues of concern to staff and students – have fed in to the new VLE evaluation process and continue to inform other work
- Future developments A more dynamic site – blog discussion, regular software reviews RSS feeds – updates on key conferences and developments in the UK A site map and glossary will be added soon
