Adult and Community Learning

The Regional Support Centre began working with the Adult and Community Learning (ACL) sector in 2003. In addition to the services listed below we work closely with NIACE to support the wider national ACL e-Learning strategy.

Strategic Support

The RSC East Midlands supports the strategic development and implementation of e-learning/ILT within ACL organisations. This may be through advice and guidance with all aspects of e-Learning, meeting with senior management teams to discuss e-Learning and integration into wider development plans or simply ensuring the ACL sector is kept informed of national initiatives.

Focused Support

This can be in the form of:

• An ACL regional forum to facilitate an active ACL e-Learning group in the region
• Access for ACL staff to a wide variety of other forums hosted by RSC East Midlands
• In-house training sessions and regional training events
• Helpdesk facility
• Mailing Lists for discussion groups
• E-guides support
• Staff Development, which may be delivered by RSC staff or cascaded or brokered.

If you are interested in any of these services, or have any additional learning technology needs, please contact RSC Advisor Kathryn Robinson, who has overall responsibility for the ACL sector.

“The RSC has provided information, support and training which has impacted on our Service ILT strategy and its implementation, trained staff, including e-learning champions, and supported our peer review.”
