European League for Non-Western Studies Workshop (23rd May 2008, Leiden University) E-learning, Mobile Learning. Towards Personalisation or Collaborative Learning?

The SOAS-UCL CETL in ‘Languages of the Wider World’ aims to promote excellence in the teaching and learning of languages that do not have a large presence in UK Higher Education but which are of increasing strategic importance, locally and globally.
A key objective of the CETL is to support blended language learning. We have recently introduced Flexi-Packs, specially-tailored packages of web-based materials to supplement taught sessions.
The paper will present the Flexi-Pack project and will focus on students’ perception of e-learning, with a particular highlight on personalisation and collaborative learning. Examples of CETL-produced materials will be included.
