And many other organisations and individuals.

Clearly, there is a bias towards UK based organizations at the moment, as the eLearn Accredit project is based in the UK, and it has been simpler to establish contact with the more locally based organizations. However, there is an open invitation to any organization or individual from anywhere in the world to register their interest in the debate about quality standards in online learning. The eLearn Accredit project is not a UK project, and it is very important that organizations and individuals from around the world register their interest and make their contributions in order that we can establish a debate which is relevant to everyone.

Your ideas are very important to this process. The eLearn Accredit project is about bringing the best ideas together. If you have any suggestions to make, any ideas to add, any people who you think ought to be included, please Contact Us.
