UK LearnOnline, a consortium of learning content producers which has developed the learning content for the National Learning Network (NLN) and will involve the promotion of the UK learning industry on a global scale, has appointed Learning Light (LL), a non-profit centre of excellence in the use of learning technologies in the workplace, as a trustee of the consortium. The UK LearnOnline consortium is made up of UK e-learning businesses, Epic, the Workshop, Digitalbrain and the National Extension College (NEC).
The learning content's production value has been estimated at some $29.55m (£15m) by the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta), which has responsibility for ensuring that learning content in the UK is 'fit for purpose' and matches the needs of both the learner and the learner's organisation. The NLN content is over 600 hours long and covers a wide range of topics, from travel & tourism and environmental conversation to performing arts, sports and recreation.
NLN content is intended for a wide range of learners - from 16 year olds through to adults - covering adult and community learning; further and higher education; offender learning, and work-based learning. While the content is freely available in the UK, Learning Light is developing a number of channel partners in order to distribute this material outside the UK, by using its network of international expertise it has built up.
