ExcelDL – Collaboration for Excellence in a Distance Learning Environment
This HEA funded project focuses on the use of synchronous webconferencing to support teaching and learning in the part-time/distance learning mode of 12 postgraduate programmes delivered in the School of the Built Environment, University of Salford. Project examined current webconferencing practices from both tutor and student perspectives to ascertain what works best, and to share positive experiences with a view to increasing the effectiveness of distance teaching and learning in the School and the wider community, so as to promote active learning and create communities of practice.
ExcelDL project is managed by Brodie McAdam. Brodie leads a distance learning Construction Law Masters programme at the University of Salford (Course Details). ExcelDL team successfully held an online conference with expert speakers from the field.
