About This Publication
Used appropriately, ICT has the potential to engage learners and to make the learning experience more interesting and motivating. This guide is aimed at organisers and practitioners working in adult and community learning, but its applicability extends to other sites of adult learning. It looks at how ICT can be used to reach adults who might not normally engage in formal learning courses. Examples are given of how courses can be enhanced by the use of ICT and thus appeal to a wider range of audiences by, for example, using hobbies and interests as a ‘hook’ into learning. Case studies from recent ICT initiatives focussing on widening participation illustrate practical steps in utilising ICT to draw in new learners
