This white paper can be linked to the "informal adult learning agenda" - becasue if learners are empowered to make a choice and create a fun fab learning environment, then this buzz will carry them through to a habit of learning. Check the forum topic here, where other stuff has been posted

Hi Eliz, saw this Adult Learning page on Wandsworth Council's website. There is a PDF called a "cookbook" - check it out for ideas for your courses! and perhaps for a future book of your own ;o)

Reading beetween the lines, you can see how "informal fun adult learning" involving computers, digital cameras, etc. can invisibly and slowly create the steps towards digital inclusion, and digital literacy: http://groups.diigo.com/acceleratedfamilylearning-campaignforlearning/forum/topic/learning-revolution-festivals-libraries-interesting-responses-d-49054#8

debate around social networks and kids...

I had a conversation with an adult learner yesterday who was having a 'wobble' about staying on a course and she said that one of the other learners would not leave her alone on facebook until she said she was coming back to class. Their interaction with a social network had the consequence of her staying in learning.
