Learning Analytics
Let's look at student interactions to refine our e-learning.
"Learning analytics loosely joins a variety of
data-gathering tools and analytic techniques
to study student engagement, performance,
and progress in practice, with the goal of using
what is learned to revise curricula, teaching, and
assessment in real time. Building on the kinds
of information generated by Google Analytics
and other similar tools, learning analytics aims
to mobilize the power of data-mining tools
in the service of learning, and embracing
the complexity, diversity, and abundance of
information that dynamic learning environments
can generate."

Mathematics tool
The following mathematics tool - free from Microsoft - is interesting to play around with.
Microsoft Mathematics 4
It may be of interest to some students; and it may inspire e-learning developers too.

Staying Focused on High Quality Development
Our e-learning developers seem to spend too much time doing basic tasks rather than focusing on utilising their skills effectively.
Instead of developing high quality e-learning interactions a great deal of time is focused on basic tasks such as reformatting text, and administration tasks that should be handled in a more efficient way.
Perhaps this aspect could be addressed if the department was stronger in the following areas:
