Impact of e-learning in Further Education: Survey of Scale and Breadth Research Information

DescriptionWhilst there is apparent universal agreement that e-learning is becoming more important in the further education (FE) sector, there is a shortage of empirical evidence regarding the impact of these processes, and of variations across subject areas, within further education. It is in this context that the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) commissioned the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) to undertake a survey of all further education and sixth form colleges and to supplement a recent qualitative study of e-learning use in FE. The research aimed to establish the scale and extent of e-learning use among FE lecturers in three subject areas, examine the associations between the use of e-learning and intermediate outcomes for learners and staff and explore the policy implications of the use of e-learning in FE.
