Welcome & invitation to contribute

Welcome to our project Blog. We are researching this question for the New Zealand Ministry of Education:

What are the characteristics of programmes, such as e-learning, mixed mode and distance learning programmes that have been successful in raising the literacy, numeracy and language skills (LLN) of adult learners and could be used to supplement workplace training?

Please contribute through Comments to support our study with:

• Literature or people we should read or talk with
• Case studies or locations using e-learning for LLN
