ePioneers is a new approach to e-learning adoption, based on mentoring of 'quick gain' projects, with individual and School-wide outcomes. It offers a way to move e-learning beyond early adopters and into the mainstream.

Through 23 video conversations, and supported by 29 documents, 11 School of Education staff offer a balanced view of e-learning adoption …

"The ePioneers project shows how a School can widen the use of e-learning by supporting the development of individual ideas to solve a range of problems, both large and small."

"There's a myth that surrounds the magic of the technology and the huge amount of skill and knowledge that you need to have to make these technologies actually work."

Transferable

The programme's flexibility arises from its emphasis on addressing the teaching and administrative issues raised by staff.
Research-based

An approach based on mentoring principles helped staff gain confidence in identifying and adapting technologies to meet their needs.
Balanced

The online community didn't produce the conversations that were hoped for: staff explore the reasons why in their critique.
