Adult and community learning providers give you flexibility for self development. Colleges and community learning providers will have courses and facilities available to help you study at a time, place and pace that suits you.
Learning is really fun and productive when it involves other people. Technology can help you keep in touch with other learners on your course to motivate each other and share ideas.
A good adult and community learning provider will:
- give you access to technology to give you more control and flexibility over your learning – studying at a time, place and pace that suits your preferences and which fits in with your other commitments.
- enable you to communicate with your tutors via email and other collaboration tools, such as learning platforms.
- ensure you can collaborate and share ideas with other learners using portals and shared learning platforms.
- give you access to a broad range of technology so you learn through different media, such as video and audio. Most learners say that using computers and other technology improves their understanding of subjects and many tutors agree.
