ElNet: Informal Learning Research
In our last newsletter we introduced the research project ElNet is undertaking on using learning technologies to support and enhance informal learning. The focus group session went well and we are now doing a short survey. If you are using using learning technologies to support and enhance informal learning we’d really appreciate it if you’d complete the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DD2TQ35
ElNet: Towards Maturity Benchmark
We use the Towards Maturity Benchmark as part of our consulting projects to analyse how organisations are using learning technologies and to help organisations plan their future directions. In November Elnet is a running Master Classes with Laura Overton from Towards Maturity on how to use benchmarking to ensure success with L&D activities in organisations. Find out more about the master classes
