TARGET GROUPS
Multi-Generation Digital Learning and e-Learning
Despite the increasingly critical role of e-learning in higher education, there is limited understanding of the satisfaction essentials of multi-generational students’ cohorts undertaking online courses. In this study, we examine the perceived value of educational experiences of multi-generational students’ cohorts studying via an online learning management system (Moodle).
Good Practices Showcase for Adult Education Providers,
This consultation is for anyone with an interest in adult and further education and training, skills, workforce development, careers, employment, and employment services. The consultation is also for anyone working directly with Londoners belonging to demographic groups that are underrepresented in learning.
Digital Literacy for Adults
Digital literacy can be defined as the skills associated with using technology to enable users to find, evaluate, organize, create, and communicate information. The integration of digital literacy into curriculum and instruction is required in order to provide opportunities for students to explore, experiment, and develop expertise using real world applications for digital literacy while building their academic skills.
