1) The first publication, Responding to Learners, is a resource pack which offers recommendations on how institutions can better respond to learners’ expectations and uses of technology, as well as practical guidance on how to embed learners’ voices more effectively into institutional processes and practice.
The pack brings together the research findings from the ‘learners’ experiences of e-learning’ theme of JISC’s e-learning programme, which funded a total of ten projects from 2005 to 2009, and involved over 200 learners in qualitative research with more than 3000 survey respondents.

2) e-Learning is explored from a strategic viewpoint in a second publication, Managing Curriculum Change, which investigates how technology can help make curriculum design processes more responsive and the experience of learning more engaging, inclusive and rewarding. The publication visualises a curriculum lifecycle, with a focus on who needs to be involved to help theory become reality.
