For 20 years, I have worked on technology enhanced learning projects that have included the first contributory website for schools back in the late 1990's and developing large scale online Undergraduate degree programmes. This work has included developing online learning technical solutions, curriculum design, and the development of academic staff. It is important that when developing new provision, both the pedagogical and business models must work together for sustainable approaches to be delivered.
