The UAS eLearning group is already sketching a map of research in eLearning at the level of UAS: who is doing what in UAS? A first draft of the questionnaire should be available at the end of June/ beginning of July. This could be the basis also for the questionnaire for the universities (Per Bergamin will share it with us, when it is available).
The final questionnaire will have to be ready at the end of August, and will be delivered in Autumn (end September - first half October). The questionnaire will focus on eLearning research: expertise (past researches), ongoing researches, interests (possible future researches). For this questionnaire, we will use the term 'eLearning', without providing definitions nor further specifications.
Universities will be contacted through the respective CCSPs (through the Educational Technologies Working Group?), which will be asked to forward the questionnaire to the interested persons/centers.
Next meeting will be in Bern (Sitzungszimmer Fernfachhochschule, Marktgasse 45, 6. Stock) on Monday, August 24, from 10.30 to 13.00.
Goal of the next meeting will be to agree on the questionnaire and define in detail the methodology of the survey.
