Domain Definition

Domain
The term domain is borrowed from the Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM) which defines it as, “a sphere of activity, concern, or function where the people involved shared interests. A domain could require the involvement and participation of multiple disciplines.” (Curtis, Gardenier & Weber (2007) Business Process Maturity Model: Request for Comment (RFC); BMI). In BPMM, it is possible to create BPMM domains for specific functions of a Business e.g. BPMM[Finance] or BPMM[HR], where the term in brackets is the given domain.

Similarly, in eMM, a domain represents a particular sphere of activity or function of the e-learning lifecycle which is of particular interest to the institution. Hence, an eMM [Quality Assurance] domain provides a reference model for appraising processes in the Quality Assurance of e-learning and their institutionalization. It also provides a process model and organizational change support for improving these processes.

An eMM domain is derived from the eMM framework by lensing the framework for the given domain
