Briefings

These briefings aim to be both informative and provocative. Some give background information about current developments in elearning, particularly with reference to British schools. Some provide basic techological primers which may be useful to those from backgrounds in teaching or publishing. Some argue the case for managed learning and explain the thinking behind the Alpha Learning Engine' design.
