Mobile learning for Unions - Register now
By blending more conventional learning with mobile phones, PDAs and handhelds devices, you can experience flexible learning that extends the use of ICT beyond the classroom. The excitement combined with the privacy of learning on a mobile device can help engage those who may have felt negative towards more conventional ways of learning.
Unionlearn is keen to help ULRs, learning organisations and union officers to make the most of this new technology by organising a series of one day seminars run in conjunction with GoSkills, Unite the Union and Tribal.

The report is based on five case studies of trade union use of ICT in support of learning in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK, and one of trade union education at the transnational/European level.
