The National Learning Network (NLN) Materials delivery service offers high quality Becta-commissioned learning materials to the FE community. The materials cover a wide range of subjects and levels, tailored to the FE curriculum. There are currently 1000 objects available, with a further round of materials due to be released on a regular basis over the coming months.
EDINA, MIMAS, Becta and JISC-funded Regional Support Centres (RSCs) are partners in the NLN delivery service which is funded by JISC. MIMAS leads on the technical infrastructure for accessing the materials using the Content Access Tool (CAT) which was created by Becta, whilst EDINA provides the helpdesk, and hosts the back-up CAT service. The RSCs support FE institutions directly and refer any unresolved queries to the EDINA helpdesk.
EDINA support staff have researched and produced extensive documentation on navigation methods, the tools required to assist this process and support for colleges to set up the service. If you have any queries about the NLN materials, please contact your local RSC by following the link in the paragraph above.
