March's eGem forum now open:
How can e-learning be used to stretch more able learners?
Join March's eGems forum and hear from colleagues, or share with them, examples of how e-learning can stimulate and challenge learners who are already advanced in their subject, how these individuals can be stretched and motivated when many use technology at a higher level than we do and where colleagues have used e-learning to make a real difference to the course experience of their learners.
