Widening Participation of e-learning across Northumberland

Wednesday, 16 March 2005

TT360 are proud to annouce the release of e-land.org, a new and exciting web portal commissioned by the Learning and Skills Council Northumberland to promote and widen the participation of e-learning across the County.

Through an extensive consulation process with an numnber of key project stakeholders and together with the project managers Enterprise PLC, TT360 produced a flexible and scalable portal solution that provides both a springboard for the project delivery and an invaluable tool for the monitoring of the project’s overall success.

The project aims to bring together people, places and suppliers of e-learning material with the portal acting a central point of reference. The portal also offers a wide range of information as well as some extremely useful features that go hand in hand with the efforts of the project including:

• An e-learning network that offers a facility for learning centres and training providers to include information and details about their individual organisations;
• An e-learning toolkit that offers practical advice and guidence for running a learning centre;
• A products and materials directory showcasing ranges of products available from a large number of associated suppliers including the ability for approved suppliers to upload an manage their own lists of products online.

The portal is another successful implementation of TT360’s much acclaimed web content management system WebKinetic, which has seen a significant rise in its client base over the past year.WebKinetic was a natural choice for the project as its versaility was ideal for the complexity and degree of customisation requred.

WebKinetic is also a winner when it comes to Accessibility and e-Government complience.

Offering an impressive list of accessibility enhancements, WebKinetic can natively support table-less design, access keys, relative font size adjustments, alternative text etc. to name just a few. In fact, with little effort WebKinetic can help you strive to meet (Web Accessibility Inititives) WAI-AAA complience.

WebKinetic also supports the e-Government Interoporability Framework (e-GIF) and Metadata Standards (e-GMS) and natively supports XML and Metadata tagging including support for Dublic Core.
