On-Line Learning hub (message from Third Age Trust)
Have your say! We are looking for your ideas to help us develop the new Online Learning Hub. This is going to be an online collection of all of the resources and tools you may need to support learning across your interest groups and U3A.
This short questionnaire will give us valuable information about what’s important to you, and what we need to consider in the design and implementation of this Online Learning Hub. None of the questions are compulsory and your response is anonymous. This should take you less than 10 minutes.
Click here to participate.
Following very successful initial meetings, we have decided to offer something every Wednesday, alternating between speaker presentations and “coffee mornings”. Bookings for these events will open on Fridays for the following Wednesday, and you will be reminded of this by email.
When booking has opened for a particular event, there will be a link to a form to reserve your place. If you have any problems with using the form, or if you have any questions about the event, please email:-
