This Blog is to support research of 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?

e-Learning research published on the Minstry of Education web site

Jo Fletcher and Niki Davis are delighted to announce that all three of our project's outputs are now on the New Zealand Ministry of Education web site. Nearby you will find outputs from the two parallel projects including one with an exemplar of e-learning and numeracy.

The research has been well received by dissemination events with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labour and the Industry Training Federation in New Zealand. A presentation will be made in the UK at the British Educational Research Association annual conference in September.
