Dear All,
Surprisingly perhaps, our programme of accredited science courses is still
going at about the same level (in terms of bums on seats) as it was a decade
ago. Mind you, we've not been pushing the accredited side - it's there if
wanted but we try not to make it a deterrent. So in effect it's been traditional
adult education with an extra layer. This may well have to change in the
near future but at the moment it still brings in the money so the University is
happy.
Best wishes,
Peter

Still no response at all to my message
last week (about promoting lifelong
learning in ways other than providing
credit-bearing courses for the
public). Do, please, reply even if it
is just to say that in your
circumstances you feel that credit-bearing
courses are effective and
efficient. I really would be very
interested.
On another topic: I recently submitted a statement of
intent to propose a
European network ("Science in Context" - Research,
Outreach and Lifelong
Learning) within the Union's Sixth Framework
Programme (FP6). If you are
also hoping to be involved in an FP6
proposal, please contact me either
through this list or
directly.
