| SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? – STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING/ASSURING THE IMPACT OF E-LEARNING PROJECT INITIATIVES Josephine Csete and Jennifer Evans, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong This paper describes the 
			institutional initiatives of a university in Hong Kong to support, 
			develop and embed e-learning. In particular, it examines the 
			strategies used to enhance and ensure quality outcomes when 
			investing US$3,000,000 in 43 e-learning projects from 2006-2012. It 
			outlines the guiding principles behind the university’s e-learning 
			development and analyses the significance of piloting, evaluation 
			and formal reporting as well as the value of professional, technical 
			and instructional design support. Finally, the paper considers 
			constraints and challenges, and reflects on successes and the need 
			to evolve and adjust approaches in response to technological, social 
			and cultural change. | ||
