TUC project

The Department of eLearning (DeL) has been awarded a grant by the European Social Fund (ESF) to take part in the Trades Union Council's "High Road" project, developing virtual learning environments (VLE) and innovative ICT solutions.

Working within the TUC's development partnership (Equal), the main aim of the project will be to investigate best practice and optimal methodology for delivering online learning and training for the TUC’s identified target participants – namely those engaging in higher-level continuing professional development.
