Abstract
Trust and collective learning are useful features enabled by effective collaborative leadership of e-learning projects across higher and further education institutions promoting lifelong learning. These features beneficially contribute to the development of design for learning in communities of e-learning practice. For this, reflexivity, good leadership and the capacity to engage in innovation is crucial to team performance. This paper outlines a serendipitously useful combination of innovative models of collaboration emerging from two 2005-06 UK e-learning pilots: the JISC eLISA and JISC infoNet CAMEL projects. The JISC-funded eLISA Distributed e-Learning (DeL) project set up a collaborative partnership between teachers to trial LAMS and Moodle using study skills in e-learning. Simultaneously, the JISC infoNet CAMEL project developed a model of collaborative approaches to e-learning leadership and management across four UK HE/FE institutions. This paper proposes two new theoretical collaborative team leadership and operational models for e-learning projects, including indices of trust, reflexivity and shared procedural knowledge, recommending that these models are further developed in future communities of e-learning practice in institutions promoting lifelong learning.
