Consultancy for Austria's adult education network
I have been charged with conducting a feasibility study for increasing the pedagogic potential of networked and web-based learning in the network of Austrian adult education colleges (Volkshochschulen). This is a challenging task as the 270 institutions are distributed across the country, serving many different educational needs. I look very much forward to finding suitable proposals for future development of these important adult education providers.
