Abstract: | This study discusses benchmarking the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning between
two universities with different missions: one an Australian campus-based metropolitan university and the other a British distance-education
provider. It argues that the differences notwithstanding, it is possible to develop a useful and rigorous benchmarking relationship
between such institutions that draws on previous benchmarking research and improves the approach by benchmarking key processes,
not just outcomes. By defining a process used to embed ICT in subjects and using this as a focus of the benchmarking, a relational
and prospective approach to quality assurance for ICT can be clarified, one which promotes coherence amongst the benchmarks
that can be used for the purposes of improvement. |
