Managing your eLearning

Planning and Sustainability

Websites need certain types of maintenance work at different times in the session. The amount of maintenance involved depends on the complexity of your site. The benefit of recycling your site is that certain types of online resources can be modified or reused in successive semesters.

Examples of the types of maintenance you might have to consider for your unit of study websites:

• Moderating discussions. A successful discussion board needs regular attention!
• Adding new content - lectures notes, streamed lectures, audio files, links.
• Downloading and grading assignment submissions.
• Releasing tests and grading short answer/paragraph questions.
