  3. Build knowledge capacity within the HEIs by harnessing enterprise expertise in areas of high skills demand.
  4. Develop innovative assessment methodologies for e-moderators/tutors to assess students’ collaborative activity in a blended-learning environment.
  5. Devise a protocol using international best practice for module delivery teams to constructively engage with student feedback within the online space to positively affect curriculum design.
