Dear AoIR Colleague

You may be interested to know about the MSc in E-learning offered by the
University of Edinburgh. This is a fully online programme which can be
studied either full-time or part-time from September 2007. Our web site

This is a fully-supported, innovative distance learning programme which
aims to help students gain the practical skills and critical insights
they need to become confident practitioners within this fast-moving
field. If you are involved in post-school education or in training and
development, you may find the programme of interest.

Life, weblogs, chat and wikis for example), we offer courses including:

An introduction to digital environments for learning 
Understanding learning in the online environment
E-learning strategy and policy
Online assessment
