> Dear Colleague > > As you will already know, during this term, all English FE colleges will > be receiving just over £7,000 from the Further Education Funding Council > (FEFC) in order to support the creation of high quality on-line learning > materials. As part of the content creation initiative, Becta, with the > support of the JISC Regional Support Centres, will be running a series of > workshops focusing on some of the skills that need to be developed. > The aim of these workshops is to raise awareness of some of the skills > that are needed order to create content, both as part of the NLN and as a > part of normal curriculum development. It is hoped, however, that some of > the materials produced as part of the NLN initiative will be of a > sufficiently high standard that they will be able to sit alongside the > commercially supplied content and be included in the central respository. > The workshops will be run in FE colleges, with the involvement of college > and Regional Support Centre staff. > Below is a list of dates and places of the workshops, each of which should > link to a programme and a booking form. These are also available on the > NLN Web site, http://www.nln.ac.uk > Many thanks > Chris > Chris Kelland > Education Officer, National Learning Network Project Support > Becta, Milburn Hill Road > Coventry, CV4 7JJ > [log in to unmask] > http://www.nln.ac.uk > > *******the usual apologies if you receive this more than once ********** > College Content Development Workshops > Please print out the form and return it to us, or fax it to : > Jenny Cole, Administrator > NLN Materials Development team > 024 7641 1418 > Please contact us if you require any further information: > http:[log in to unmask] > Region, Location, Date > Yorks & Humber, Dewsbury College, Thursday 1 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/Dewsburyform.doc> > London, City & Islington College (Camden Road), 9 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/LondonProgForm.doc> > Northern, Bishop Auckland College, Monday 12 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/Bishopform.doc> > South West, Plymouth College, Friday 16 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/plymouthprog.doc> > North West, Autoquest Stadium, Widnes, Monday 19 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/Widnesform.doc> > South, NESCOT, Thursday 22 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/southprog.doc> > East Midlands, Mackworth College, Derby, Friday 23 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/Loughform.doc> > Eastern, West Suffolk College, Wednesday 28 March 2001 > <http://ferl.becta.org.uk/features/elearning/suffolkprog.doc> >
