We are currently identifying:

• Thoughts, plans, systems in any of these areas;
   
• Whether there are areas covered here which are not perceived as a need, or areas which are perceived as a need which are not covered (and if so, why, etc);
   
• What the position is on external accreditation. Is there a need for a new external body to accredit on-line learning, or should this be a function of existing accreditation bodies (who just needs to be encouraged to take this up)? Would a meta-accreditation system be more manageable (accrediting the accrediters)?
   
• Suggested other contacts and organisations. No contact list is ever exhaustive, and it is better to have a suggestion made 6 times rather than never. If you would like to encourage eLearn Accredit to contact an organisation or individual who you think should be included, please feel free to Contact Us at any time.

Next stage to include

• After the November 2002 Virtual Conference, eLearn Accredit worked in partnership with the SEEL project (Supporting Excellence in E-Learning) to run a Physical Conference be in Lisbon (Portugal) on the 19 and 20 May 2003, attached to the World Education Market. As well as addressing issues related to quality assurance for eLearning, this conference was also a springboard for the various work packages in the SEEL project, including the Quality Guidelines for eLearning.
   
• eLearn Accredit is now working with the SEEL project (further details at www.seelnet.org) to support the development of the SEEL Quality Guidelines for eLearning.
  
• The second conference for the SEEL project will be held in May 2004, again attached to the World Education Market (www.wemex.com). If you would like us to send you details as soon as they are released, please email us on andrew.brown@elearnaccredit.org.
   
• There will also be occasional online discussions and seminars, held both through the eLearn Accredit website and through the SEEL website. Please let us know if you would like to participate in or to contribute to these events, or keep monitoring these websites.

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.
