This clarifies my answer, at least with regards to Arts and Humanities subjects. My answer is based on my time as a philosophy student, my knowledge of other departments, as well as my work with Kay on Skills and PDP, both or which are activities undertaken by the students with greater autonomy. Indeed all of this is about students achieving greater autonomy.

There are two realms in which learning occurs: formal departmenal curriculum, and informal self-organized activity. Self-organized learning may or may not be subject related. The two realms are often poorly or not at all connected. E-learning provides means for bridging this gulf.
