Case Study on the Excellence Gateway:

Using ultra mobile PCs in adult and community learning (ACL)

Nottinghamshire County Council's Adult and Community Learning Service (ACLS) working in partnership with North Nottinghamshire College have had a successful start in a pilot project using small mobile PCs to carry out teaching and learning in the dispersed community venues that it uses to deliver learning.

The new devices have helped incorporate information learning technology (ILT) into settings where it has often been lacking historically, and more tutors are getting the devices as the project expands.
