About E-xcellence
In the E-xcellence project under the E-learning Programme 2004, a quality benchmarking assessment instrument was developed that covers the pedagogical, organisational and technical frameworks with special attention on accessibility, flexibility and interactiveness. The instrument is supplemented by a full on-line manual. This is all fully available under the "creative commons license" at www.eadtu.nl/e-xcellenceqs.
With E-xcellence+ we want to valorise thise instrument at the local, national and European level for the higher education and adult education sectors. Further, within E-xcellence +, we want to broaden the implementation and receive feedback for enhancing the instrument. Read more
