The Centre for Technology Assisted Learning (CenTAL) at the University of Johannesburg (UJ), South Africa and the SOLSTICE Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Edge Hill University (EHU), UK signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2007 for the creation of a benchmarking hub for the enhancement of learning. This resulted in an invitation for participation directed at the directors of technology-assisted learning (TAL) or e-learning units at 23 South African universities. They were requested to use nine so-called lenses of self- evaluation and review. The First Combined Report contained the information received from participatory universities during a first round. This was discussed during a meeting of representatives of participating universities; during this meeting, a refinement of our common understanding of lenses was discussed and three new lenses were added. A Second Combined Report was produced and discussed at a second meeting of participants. This book, based on the Third Combined Report, contains the contextual descriptions offered by all 15 participating universities on these twelve refined and expanded lenses.
