Developing e-learning courses for work-based learning

This paper outlines a case study from a European research project that developed an e-learning course designed for delivery through a virtual university, to learners in the workplace. It raises some of the challenges and issues that are part and parcel of the opportunities and pressures that prevail. The main focus of the paper is on the design and development of a pedagogic framework and course materials that meet the needs of the target learners and take advantage of the opportunities afforded by e-learning. The paper will highlight some of the issues that were raised as this development work progressed and how they were or could be overcome.
