This document discusses e-learning on campus and international benchmarking of e-learning. It provides details on benchmarking projects conducted by Lund University in Sweden with other organizations. The benchmarking process involves determining what to benchmark, forming a benchmarking team, collecting and analyzing benchmarking information, and identifying benchmarking partners. Benchmarking is described as an exemplar-driven process to intentionally change an existing state into a superior state. Contact information is provided for Ebba Ossiannilsson, who presented on this topic.

that realise these improvements. (Moriarty and

21. EDEN 2011 in quotes Creelman blogpost 23/06/2011
Creelman,
Why is there no Nobel prize for education? (Alfredo Soeiro)
Competency is not a thing, it's a cultural construct. ( h
h ' l l (Graham Attwell)
ll)
If you're not working with mobile apps, you are out of touch with progress. (Dennis
Pamlin)
Valuing learning for all. Everywhere and in any mode. A dream? (Alfredo Soiero)
We are only in the opening chapters of the transformation of education and social
transformation by technology. (President Mary McAleese)
Education should disrupt as much as it should build. (Graham Attwell)
The future is not widely distributed, so it's not here yet. (Paul Kim)
Education should be open and adaptable, designed to suit the pace and place of
the learner. (President Mary McAleese)
Many still consider that q
y quality in education is synonymous with exclusivity ... the
y y y y
notion of an open university, that measures its success by the number and variety
of people that it includes, is deeply threatening. (Sir John Daniel)
