What is Link It?
Link it is a prototype programme developed by Energy Action for it's staff
to address issues relating to IT literacy and self directed learning and
career planning.
What is the difference between Link It and other computer
training courses?
Link it is based on adults learning at their own pace, after a basic introduction
to IT skills, the participants complete an electronic portfolio incorporating
Personal Action Plans a career planning and project work using and developing
their skills. The programme is supported by a range of material on the LINK
IT web site . A core action of the programme was the provision of PCs to each
household to challenge the emerging digital divide and enable entire household
access to IT and to facilitate the ability to learn at a time suitable to
participants.
How can you afford to give participants a PC?
The provision of PCs was achieved by matching the funding accumulated by
staff in a group savings scheme and negotiating a group purchase of computers
at a substantial discount.
