E-Learning Snapshots
The Snapshots group runs the EUNIS survey of e-learning support across Europe. There have been Snapshots survey papers at EUNIS2006 and EUNIS2007and a new survey will be announced in November 2007. Results will be presented. The plenary discussion after this presentation will allow participants to share information about the approach to e-learning in their own institution. |

E-Learning Case Studies across Europe
This group has started to draw up templates for case studies and hopes to start to gather information as soon as can be arranged. The group plans to work on finalising the templates and will plan a strategy for collecting case studies. |

Virtual worlds in education
Virtual
worlds such as Second Life offer the opportunity for learning and
teaching to take place in a three-dimensional online world. This is an
innovation in e-learning which many universities are experimenting
with. Participants may wish to create a new working group to gather
information on the use of such worlds in learning and teaching. In
addition the group could, if it wishes, set up a virtual meeting space
for EUNIS meetings - to avoid too much travel! |

Sakai
Prof Epelboin will describe the experience of setting up Sakai
together with U-Portal at his university. It will be interesting to
compare experiences and ask questions. Participants may wish to create a
new working group. |

Supporting eLearning Communities of Practice
eLearning has the potential to transform education but a sure way to fall short of its potential is through lack of engagement with the community of users. The overall aim of this working group is to highlight the necessity to involve communities from the outset of any eLearning initiative to ensure its successful completion. We will present a case study of a successful model developed by the Reusable Learning Objects Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, a collaboration between London Metropolitan, Cambridge and Nottingham universities, and additional working models around Europe will be collected and made available to EUNIS members. The long term aspiration is to seed and facilitate future collaborations. |

Learning object repositories, media archives and podcasts
Video, podcasts, audio, and interactive learning materials are all technologies which are increasingly used in university education. Nevertheless, it is unclear how these media and technologies can be facilitated, and which systems to use. At this point no comprehensive systems for e.g. handling interactive learning materials, transcoding of videos, handling metadata, providing podcasts, integrating with VLE’s etc. seem to exist. The aim of this working group is to discuss the utility of the different media, technologies, and systems, and how the need and wishes of the learners and instructors may be accommodated |

General information about the ELTF
The ELTF will carry out a number of projects and activities to encourage the exchange of information and foster collaborative working across Europe. You will enjoy being an ELTF member if you enjoy meeting and working with colleagues from other European universities.
ELTF membership is open to the EUNIS community. You are welcome to join the ELTF provided the university or organisation where you work is a member of EUNIS.
You yourself must be happy to give a small amount of your time to working on ELTF projects and activities.
And the ELTF would like some of its members to propose and lead new projects.
The ELTF usually holds a face-to-face meeting at the EUNIS Conference birds-of-a-feather session and a special one-day meeting on a separate occasion.
The EUNIS E-Learning Task Force is led by Andrew Rothery.
