The results of discussions by the delegates at the European e-learning Summit, organised by Learning Light with support from learndirect and Creativesheffield and held in Sheffield (17th to 19th November), have been published in the form of a manifesto for e-learning. The manifesto is intended to help delegates pursue dialogue with their national governments to establish a single, independent and impartial body representing the corporate e-learning sector. Although developed within a European context, the manifesto focuses specifically on the corporate e-learning sector in the UK. Delegates to the Summit from outside the UK are encouraged to adapt the manifesto to the situation in their own countries and use this to pursue the aims stated at the Summit. The manifesto outlines the opportunities and challenges currently facing the e-learning sector; explains the e-learning sector’s offering to ‘UK plc’, and sets out what the Summit delegates believe needs to happen. This includes: continued investment in the country’s technical infrastructure – including access to high speed broadband for all; the adoption of system interoperability; widespread e-assessment; simplified technical and funding infrastructures; a change to UK Government procurement policy with regards to e-learning materials and systems, and support for the e-learning sector as an export driver.
