It takes them beyond the confines of the traditional classroom, extending collaboration…. Encourage every institution to offer a personal online learning space to store coursework, course resources, results, and achievements…for each learner, so that education organisations can support an individual’s progression more effectively. Together, these facilities will become an electronic portfolio, making it simpler for learners to build their record of achievement throughout their lifelong learning. Technology also allows a new relationship between education and employers.
