One-stop shop for online learning

Waytolearn opens gateway to adult education on the internet

Ursula Seymour

If you fancy brushing up on a particular skill, but don't know where to look for more information about courses, the government has set up an online resource that promises to be a one-stop source for learning information.

Waytolearn, is aimed at all adults in the UK aged from 19-75, and directs users to all manner of courses from formal, classroom-based learning, to more relaxed sessions and voluntary work. The aim is to help people improve their skills and confidence.

Because there are so many websites devoted to online learning, it can be confusing finding the right one for you. Waytolearn hopes to simplify the process by bringing together all the information available in a single site.

"The development of waytolearn is a crucial step in the provision of adult learning information. For the first time adults have a one-stop source of information they can use, whatever their personal circumstances", says Alan Tuckett from the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education.
