PAST PROJECTS
Ethics in Learning Analytics
In the light of the rapid development of Learning Analytics on a global basis, ICDE took the initiative to produce a set of guidelines for ethically-informed practice that would be valuable to all regions of the world.
EPICA Initiative
EPICA is bringing together businesses, organisations and universities in both Europe and Africa to design an innovative, scalable ePortfolio, which will improve the quality, visibility and availability of new skills.
ICDE Research and Innovation Task Force: Learning Analytics
The Research and Innovation Task Force force was set up by the ICDE Executive Committee in January 2016 with the mandate to encourage the development of best practices and standards in open, distance, flexible and online education, including e-learning.
Bringing Educational Resources for Teachers in Africa
ICDE's Bringing Educational Resources for Teachers in Africa (BERTA) project aimed to provide teacher educators based in African higher education institutions with the opportunity to engage with examples of distance and eLearning courseware made available as Open Educational Resources in an activity-based way.

Research and Innovation Taskforce
The ICDE Research and Innovation Taskforce conducted research in 2014 to better understand the state of research and innovation in open, distance, flexible and online education, including e-learning across ICDE members.
Monitoring the uptake of online, open and flexible higher education
The global landscape of post-secondary education is in a period of dramatic change. A significant driver for this has been a dramatic rise in the use of technology and the extension of the traditional campus to more learners.
IDEAL- Impact of Distance Education on Adult Learning
The IDEAL project seeks to examine how higher education institutions can and do contribute to adult learning by way of distance education.
Open Educational Quality Initiative
The OPAL Initiative was a partnership between seven organizations including ICDE, UNESCO and ICDE member institution, the Open University UK, and coordinated by the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. The project was part funded by the European Commission Education and Training Lifelong Learning Programme.
Global Overview Of Quality Models
This first global overview of quality models, an ICDE supported study, is a must-read for any person concerned with quality in online, open and flexible higher education. It presents quality models in use around the globe and offers 11 recommendations for future work in the field.
