  32. (An excerpt from a listserv posting by Kathy Murrell of South Africa): “In multiple choice questions the selected option was marked by a "tick" symbol (as apposed to a "cross" sorry no ascii equivelent). I presume the American equivelent to be a check mark, but for most South Africans' this represents the mark next to a correct answer, - it was most disconcerting to get an error or wrong message next to the mark and many students may not even bother to read the message as they would presume it to be the correct answer. “

  34. Institutional Administrative Affairs Academic Affairs Student Services Does the course provide academic quality such as one would expect in a traditional course?

  36. Within the scope of today’ s presentation, I presented few e‑learning issues in the form of questions that you can ask yourself when planning or designing e‑learning. As the scope of e‑learning design expands, design projects change from one-person operations to complex team efforts. The eLearning Framework can be used to ensure that no important factor is omitted from the design of e‑learning, whatever its scope or complexity.

  37. Pedagogical Institutional Technological e-Learning Interface Design Ethical Resource Support Evaluation Management

  38. I strongly believe that the e-Learning Framework can provide guidance in the design, development, evaluation and implementation of: - Online Courses - e-Learning Environments - Distance Education Programs - Virtual Universities - Learning Management Systems

  39. Furthermore, the e-Learning Framework can be used by Ministry of Education or Department of Education to formulate and evaluate: - Virtual Education Policies - Accreditation Criteria for Online Programs - Online Teacher Training Initiatives
