Environments to support e-Learning In UK Further and Higher Education
• The question wording from 2003 was changed and the question was split into two
separate questions (1.3 for driving factors and 1.4 for supporting factors). This should
be taken into account when interpreting data.
• The answer option ‘attracting EU students’ was added.
• This table shows average scores for answer options, not percentages of respondents.
• The number of respondents (N) for each option is shown in a separate table below.
• There are clear differences in score between HE and FE for some drivers (e.g.
attracting overseas students; improving access to learning for overseas students, and
to a lesser extent attracting new markets).
• Trends over time are suggested for the Special Educational Needs & Disability Act
2001 (importance up) and attracting new markets (down, in particular for HE).
