Aims
The aims of the event are to :

Content
The 2007 event is open to E-Guides and staff working in adult and community learning and this year, we are pleased to be able to extend our invitation to voluntary and community sector organisations, work-based learning providers and staff working in the offender learning and skills sector.
The two day event offers an extensive workshop programme with plenary sessions, keynote workshops and hands-on sessions from experienced E-Guides trainers and RSC ACL Advisors, e-learning leaders and representatives from organisations such as: QIA, Centre for Excellence in Leadership, e-skills UK, Association of Learning Providers, London Knowledge Lab, and Universal Learning Systems. We have also invited E-Guides to present their own Hot Tips, and have introduced additional networking opportunities through a series of small group-based Interactive Browsing sessions where participants can learn from leading projects.
You can reserve a place either online, or by completing the application form below. Please refer to the workshop booklet when making your workshop selections.
You have the opportunity to attend seven workshop sessions over the two days and we ask that you opt for a first choice and a reserve for each session. You can select options from three workshop groupings including a ‘browsing’ option to give you the opportunity to take time out to visit exhibitor stands, investigate learning materials and resources, or simply use the internet café. The workshop selection process has been designed to give as many people as possible the opportunity to sign up for the ‘hands-on’ workshops which are always very popular.
Fees
The fee includes attendance for both days, overnight accommodation, meals, and
the evening event.
Bursary places are available. To apply for a bursary place, please send a letter to accompany your application form detailing your circumstances and the relevance of the event to your area of work, as well as information about the organisation you work for and why they are unable to fund your attendance.
