OriginsWales TUC WULF Network Meeting in

Need for an online space for best practice

Connecting Learners’ experience with blogs and other online tools.

The example of the EU Lifelong Learning Programme’s “European Shared Treasure”

The Idea“A space for Welsh Trades Unions ,

Union Learning Reps, WULF Projects and others interested in developing and sharing their examples of best practice in the use of ICT for union-lead learning in Wales”

Great for sharing... Your reviews of online and other ICT tools

Examples of how you have used a tool to good effect

Your latest online presentations and videos

Materials published online (posters, leaflets, brochures, “Net News”, etc)

Embeddable Surveys (googledocs, surveymonkey, etc)

The latest “ed-tech” reports, news, reviews and resources

Latest thinking from the world of adult and workplace learning

DetailsUses blogger, Google’s free web log (or

blog) service
