Training Background
Community based adult learning is delivered in a variety of locations and involves an assortment of learning arrangements, styles, and learning methods. Given this variety, the online environment presents another opportunity for adult learning providers to engage learners in new and exciting ways. Online learning offers adult learners greater flexibility to learn at their own pace, at any time, and location of their choice.
NIACE has designed the one-day training event 'Online learning matters - extending your organisation's learning provision', and a publication carrying the same title, for community based adult learning providers who want to develop and incorporate a cross-organisational approach to online learning and courses.
