Purpose
The Ontario Universities’ Council on e-Learning (OUCEL) is a working group of the Council of Ontario Universities that provides leadership regarding e-learning. Representatives on OUCEL are committed to e-learning that enhances student learning and engagement. OUCEL further encourages a scholarly approach towards e-learning in relation to teaching, research, and service – core values of Ontario Universities.
History
- OPAS Summer institute
- VPA appointed e-learning rep
- communications via COU portal
- The initial reps (Richard Pinet, Denise Stockley) had been approached by Jan Donio who was the COU/OPAS rep. They were asked to see if there was an interest to generate a group of reps from various Teaching and Technology Centres across Ontario to see if they would be interested in seeking COU affiliate status (an e-Learning affiliate as we later characterized ourselves). This invitation was accepted, and as such, received a positive response from all reps of the COU Universities. Our group has met several times, we have created a Terms of Reference and have had very fruitful discussions across a number of issues - including possible collaborative projects.
