is referenced in other parts of the site but is specifically highlighted here as it offers dedicated support to the Adult Learning (AL) sector. It provides information, advice and guidance to those working in the sector and is designed to complement the rollout of effective e-learning and related support into Adult Learning. You will find useful material in the following sections of the site.
- Skills Development
A key part of the extension of ICT and e-learning into Adult Learning is the provision of specifically designed training for practitioners. The aim of the training is to enable them to use ICT and e-learning resources in their teaching to maximum effect. - Technical Guidance Support
One of the keys to embedding effective e-learning in Adult Learning is to ensure all AL institutions have a tailored connectivity solution to bring their learners online.
However, there is much to think about apart from connectivity. What hardware do you use? Do you want laptops, PDAs or interactive whiteboards? In this section you'll find the answers to these questions and more. - Learning Content - Resources
This Learning Content section provides information on a range of existing online e-learning resources for the Adult Learning sector. You can also find guidance on creating your own resource and, via the Resource Exchange, read case studies on how some of these resources have been effectively used with learners.
