=Resources for staff e-learning development and support are allocated with reference to institutional e-learning technology plans.=

Evidence
Bates (2007) explains that institutions must plan to allocate resources for e-learning. In his case study the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology it was decided that significant increases in numbers of instructional designers, multimedia developers, and faculty development facilitators was going to be required. Also, a matrix model to manage the resources of the Centre for Instructional Technology and Development was recommended. Each year a committee would determine how to allocate the CITD resources to departments according to service agreements.
