=Agenda, Structures and Timeline for 2012-14 eLearning Strategy=

An eLearning Strategy Steering Group will advise and make recommendations in support of the Tasmanian Polytechnic Strategic Plan to the Polytechnic Strategy Group (PSG) in the following areas:
 * Objectives, policies and standards to enhance learning, teaching and assessment for all students through the use of digital technologies and services
 * Principles, strategies and direction for using digital technologies and services, including ICT service provision and support for all students, teachers and the wider Polytechnic community
 * Institutional approaches to support Workforce Sector exploration and implementation of commercial opportunities provided by the use of digital technologies and services

The eLearning Strategy Steering Group will achieve this by:
 * Sponsoring investigation, discussion, roadmaps and support for a forward looking agenda enabling innovation and agile development to meet changing needs and opportunities
 * Focussing on ways in which eLearning can address the Objectives, Key Strategies and Strategic Measures outlined in the current Tasmanian Polytechnic Strategic Plan
 * Actively engaging all stakeholders in timely and meaningful consultation and co-construction of an agreed state-wide Polytechnic eLearning Strategy for 2012-2014

The development of the eLearning Strategy will be facilitated through the following structures and processes:
 * Steering Group
 * Reference Group
 * Regional Co-ordinators
 * Regional and Workforce Sector Forums and Workshops
 * PSG Updates and Road Maps
 * Learning Centre Displays for staff, students and the wider Polytechnic community
 * Online documentation and discussion including video

These processes will be managed so that a final report will be provided to Polytechnic Strategy Group by early October 2011.
