The Little eLearn Centre with a Big Impact
Anderson, Terry
Educational Technology, v53 n6 p42-45 Nov-Dec 2013
The Open University of Catalonia (UOC) was established as public, online university and thus has grown quickly with the global interest in online courses. However, like other dedicated distance-education institutions, UOC has had challenges adapting to MOOCs, and the emergent world of Web 2.0 learning technologies. To meet these challenges, UOC has established a dedicated eLearn Centre (eLC) that not only teaches graduate courses in eLearning, but also is challenged with engaging faculty throughout the University in eLearning research and professional development.
