Together we will:

 

  1. Build capacity at the systems level through roundtable sessions, workshops and other engagement activities to support institutional change and policy focused on e-learning.
     
  2. Help institutions build internal expertise in e-learning by providing advanced certification of faculty and instructors at Scholars Network institutions through training, mentoring, peer networking and content development support.
     
  3. Establish system-level support and expertise through a distributed Center of Excellence, guide member institutions on the evolution of their e-learning resource centers and provide ongoing support services to member institutions.
     
  4. Assess and measure the process of progress of e-learning readiness and adoption through participatory research and evaluation and scale-up design.
