Our provision online

NIACE delivered a number of training programmes and online sessions exploring online learning through its Moodle learning platform and other online tools. The Online Course Delivery project aimed to address the need for development of online learning within adult and community learning and the wider post-16 education sector. The role that social networking and 'Web2.0' technologies contribute to adult learning is very important for NIACE. These tools have the potential to give learners an authentic 'voice' in and increase the quality of their learning experience.

Understanding Direct Payments

Many adults, including people with mental health difficulties are motivated to return to adult learning by interest in, and necessity to learn about something of direct relevance to their lives.

As a means by which people can take greater control over the support they receive, the social care personalisation agenda can provide that "hook" that enables individuals to take the first step back into adult learning and from which they can be signposted on to other opportunities if they wish.

Online Learning Matters

Following the development and delivery of NIACE's initial online courses, an opportunity was realised to bring together the lessons learnt from the development of online courses and learning platform projects, and to deliver this as a comprehensive publication with an optional one-day training event to highlight the publication.  This project provided organisations with a comprehensive basis for the development of online learning courses within their own organisation.

E-Guides eCPD Online

The E-Guides eCPD programme trained teachers of adults to make good use of technology in their teaching and to cascade their learning to colleagues.

The programme was an introduction for post-16 practitioners to e-learning and using technology effectively in teaching and learning. It made a major contribution to the e-maturity of organisations in Personal Development and Community Learning (formerly known as ACL - Adult and Community Learning), Work-Based Learning, Voluntary and Community Sector and Offender Learning and Skills.
