From 12 - 16 October, 2009 the 3C Project hosted a Spotlight on eLearning week, with activities such as workshops, consultation and a guest lecture conducted by an international consultant, an eLearning Showcase and the 2009 Teaching and Learning Innovation Award ceremony. The purpose of this Spotlight on eLearning week (NOTE – this is a link to the specific website established to support the Spotlight events) was to:

• Provide staff with opportunities to benefit from the knowledge and experience of an internationally respected eLearning expert;
• Promote the innovative use of eLearning at PolyU and to share this work with other teachers;
• Celebrate excellence in teaching and learning innovation through the eLearning Showcase and presentation of the Teaching and Learning Innovation Award for 2009.

This was to be achieved through, workshops, consultation and meetings with staff and an open to all guest lecture. The Spotlight on eLearning week began on the 12th October with the visit of Professor Diana Laurillard. It concluded on the 16th October with the eLearning Showcase.
