Ireland and UK sign higher education e-learning pact - Brian Skelly, Silicon Republic
Higher-education funding agencies in Ireland and the UK have joined forces to further the development of e-learning – a major growth area in the delivery of third-level education for a variety of learners. At a meeting in Dublin, the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and the UK’s Joint Information Services Committee signed a memorandum of co-operation that is seen a major boost to the development a National Digital Repository — a three-year initiative between universities and the institutes of technology that formally began in January 2005. The repository, which is being funded by the HEA and the Department of Education and Science, will draw together in one resource existing digital images, maps, pieces of film and audio, texts, simulations and other multimedia elements. It is seen as an essential part of the process of reducing the cost of developing e-learning teaching and learning materials.
