The ACODE Benchmarks for Technology Enhanced Learning

The ACODE benchmarks have been developed to assist institutions in their practice of delivering a quality technology enhanced learning (TEL) experience for their students and staff (recognising that some institutions refer to their practice with terms such as e-learning, online or flexible learning, blended, etc.). There are nine benchmarks, each of which can be used as a standalone indicator or used collectively to provide a whole institution perspective. However, where these benchmarks become even more powerful is when they are used in association with other institutions, as part of a collaborative interinstitutional benchmarking exercise that ACODE facilitates every two years. This is where one or more institutions are willing to share their practices and journey in TEL with others, based on the outcomes of their own internal benchmarking activity.
