Project Description

EQUEL was a European project that involved key researchers and e-learning practitioners from 14 European institutions of higher education. It was supported by the e-learning Initiative of the European Commission.

The aim of EQUEL was to foster European knowledge and understanding of the effects of e-learning practice, theory and philosophy through building a research and practitioner network of experts working in the field.

EQUEL was concerned to develop and extend understanding about approaches to e-learning which are:

based on the principles of collaborative learning and dialogical processes
and which recognise and acknowledge diversity in learning and learners' orientation and in teaching and learning practice and processes

This was achieved primarily through the establishment of 7 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) co-ordinated by members of the 14 partner consortium.
