Welcome to EQUEL: Virtual European Centre in e-learning EQUEL is a European project that involves key researchers and e-learning practitioners from 14 European institutions of higher education. It is supported by the e-learning Initiative of the European Commission. EQUEL stands for ‘e-quality in e-learning’ and is a virtual centre of excellence for innovation and research in networked learning in higher and post-compulsory education. The aim of EQUEL is to foster European knowledge and understanding of the effects of e-learning practice, theory and philosophy through building a research and practitioner network of experts working in the field. The center plans to offer a range of consultancy and evaluation services based on the tools and methods developed by its members for conducting research and evaluating networked learning initiatives and courses. 
This project has been carried out with the support of the European Community. The content of this project does not necessarily reflect the position of the European Community, nor does it involve any responsibility on the part of the European Community. |
