A guide to outreach with laptops
|
Angela Wood More Good Practice Guides |
 |
When the Department for Education and Employment decided to commit £4m to the Laptop Initiative for Adult and Community Learning, it was anticipated that there would be a major impact on the use of technology among tutors and organisations. The range and scale of this influence has been dramatic.
For many organisations this initiative was the first time that they had worked in adult and community learning with laptops and ICT equipment. For others this resource was an addition to ageing equipment.
This Guide focuses on how the laptops are, and could be, used innovatively, creatively and resourcefully in Basic Skills, Outreach and Widening Participation generally. There are examples of models of delivery, looking at what does and does not work. One chapter is devoted to best practice in developing a laptop-based project. Practical methods of outreach work with laptops are examined, and there is a discussion on strategies and skills of outreach.
