Hi everyone, For your info - from HB E-NEWSLETTER produced biweekly by the e-Content Institute July 5, 2004 British Library takes on e-learning: "Inspiring Learning for All" is a framework for a new program developed by the British Library for creating accessible learning in museums, archives and libraries. Working from a broad definition of learning - i.e., it is not related solely to formal curriculum, but rather to everyone's ability to access information, cultural resources or entertainment in order to develop as individuals - the program recognizes that people learn in different ways and require a variety of stimuli to engage them in the learning process. It stresses that museums, libraries and archives need to remove barriers to access; cater for individual learning styles (not just ages); create exciting environments; use innovative methods; value learning experts; consult with users; and reach out to new users. The program will be discussed at the International Federation of Library Associations conference in August. Source: IFLA Preliminary Program (PDF). -------------- Have a nice weekend, Leo
