Publisher's Synopsis
Providing learning opportunities in outreach locations is known to be a very effective way of widening participation in adult learning. The blending of appropriate e-learning elements with face-to-face learning can increase learners' motivation and enhance the quality of their learning experiences. It is when e-learning comes to be incorporated in outreach provision that practitioners and delivery organisations encounter serious challenges. This book builds on the practical experience of hundreds of providers, and the expertise of specialists in the field, to show how these challenges can be met. It covers all aspects of teaching, learning and the management of learning, and the use of technology in an outreach context. It provides information, guidance and support for practitioners who wish to engage in e-learning in the community, whether they are already engaged in outreach or not.
