subsidised IT training to give the general public better access

Any Answers
-----------
Here are some of the recent questions that have been asked on
E-learningZone this month. Can you help?
Due to low take up of our e-learning academy, we are looking to
add non-vocational software ( i.e. languages, soft skills,
cookery??) to our existing Knowledge Pathways system. The hope
is to increase awareness and interest, which can then be
channeled towards job-relevant courses. Any past experiences in
internal marketing would be a great help, requests Louise Volsen
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/item/90381/728
- Is anyone utilising DVD learning programmes for professional
development, especially within education or the public sector?,
asks Peter Brereton
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/item/92928/728
- I am currently writing a book on e-HR and would like to talk
to people who have some knowledge about using web-based
technologies including e-learning. I am particularly interested
to find out how technologies such as these are being used, what
benefits they have brought and what difficulties have been
experienced, asks Bryan Hopkins
