This conference is aimed at raising awareness of the e-learning activities taking place within the OL&S sector, and the OL&S e-learning national framework. It seeks to influence policy and decision makers with regard to ICT and e-learning.
Engaging
offenders is particularly challenging in view of their difficult past learning
experiences. Since the use of ICT and e-learning has been linked to increased
learner motivation, it has a role to play in the Government's change
agenda. Offender Learning and
Skills is one of the LSC's key priorities, as announced in its annual statement
of priorities. The LSC has asked
NIACE, in consultation with the sector, to develop a new national framework for
Offender Learning and Skills in England. The framework will assert the need to

living and employment and as a medium for learning other
subjects.
