ELIXIR e-learning definitions and guidelines for e-learning course development

a (usually bespoke) immersive, interactive learning environment, with focused, practical tasks that aim to achieve specific outcomes (ability to perform database searches, to interpret output results, etc.), providing all the necessary information and (access to) resources for performing those tasks. The environment is thus experiential and puts theory into behavioural practice. Examples include EMBER and the Royal Society Bioinformatics Game.
