Abstract:

The launch of the New Opportunities Fund’s £50 million NOF- digitise creation of learning materials programme in July this year marks the beginning of a major UK-wide initiative set to create a fundamental step-change in learning support. For the past two years, a quiet revolution has been under way preparing the groundwork for a collective leap of faith into the future and the new opportunities it offers. The Government has made clear the importance it attaches to the role of learning in all its guises as the cornerstone of people's lives. Furthermore, the Government sees universal access to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and its use as a delivery mechanism for learning opportunities as the catalyst for change.
