The e-SHE initiative is also adopting and rolling out an online e-learning ecosystem that offers students a holistic and consistent experience that is critical to improving student and workforce development outcomes. Arizona State University, with guidance from the Ministry and the 50 public universities, is building the initial framework and implementing the technology components and the individual university branding schemes.
The technology development and implementation are designed to ensure knowledge transfer and sustainability. This scalable e-learning ecosystem hosts a portal, a hub or access point that centrally displays both the digital learning content and resources for students and faculty; an e-learning platform where learning actually takes place and the digital content students access lives; and a universal e-learning information system specifically designed to provide university staff and ICT professionals with the data, information, and tools needed to organize, evaluate, and efficiently run their e-learning programs.
