Leveraging strategic synergies to source new paradigms of learning

Impacting the information society

Squaring the circle

Building opportunities for learning beneficiaries draws upon the three backbones of the information age

• Lifelong Learning – continuing adult education for everyone who messed it up first time around

• Online Communities – including communities of practice, networks of excellence, excellent networks of practice communities etc.
