Thanks for the link to the HEFCE “Collaborate to Compete” paper. I remember reading that when it was published but it’s a while since I’ve looked at it. Seems like now would be a good time to revisit it! Does the OTLF report also still inform SFC’s strategy or is this outwith SFC’s remit?

Thanks again

The OLTF was more about learning and institutional strategies than technology, but it also addressed OER, which continues to be a feature of the Jisc strategy.

Many thanks for your comments and for clarifying the authorship of this strategy. I’ll edit this post to make that clear.

Also could you point me in the direction of any of the outputs of the Online Learning Task Force?

A missed opportunity and a bit disappointing given the digital strategies that have been emerging from the Cabinet Office and public sector south of the border have open technologies at the heart of them.

That reflects its origins in the McClelland review.

Just to be clear, it is not an SFC publication. It was produced by the Sector Oversight Board; the Board members are nominated by Universities Scotland and Colleges Scotland.

In terms of a ‘companion piece’, SFC views ‘elearning’ as an issue of quality enhancement, and I would look to the work of the HE Academy and QAA Scotland for views on L&T practice rather than from a technology strategy. Having said that, SFC did participate in the Online Learning Task Force (2011), which I think was the most recent policy work on learning technology by the funding bodies.
