> Staff and students in Further Education colleges are to get access to
> brand new, high quality and fully interactive on-line learning materials
> commissioned as part of the National Learning Network (NLN) initiative.
>
> The NLN team at Becta has carried out a rigorous EU procurement process to
> test potential suppliers for the new materials and six suppliers have now
> been selected. All the suppliers have demonstrated expertise in
> developing educational materials using multiple media, knowledge of the FE
> curriculum, and a clear pedagogic approach to learning on-line.
>
> Over £5 million has been allocated over two years to develop a range of
> high quality, Web-based ILT materials, spanning the FE Curriculum, with
> particular focus on key skills.
>
> Over 300 hours of ILT materials will be produced and the first of the
> modules will be available to colleges in spring 2001. The remainder will
> be ready by March 2002.
>
> Full details of the suppliers and subjects are available on the NLN Web
> site at www.nln.ac.uk (News and Events>Announcements). Regular news
> updates will be made available via the Web site and through a quarterly
> newsletter. For further information, contact Jenny Cole at:
