2011-03-05
ST ALBANS, ENGLAND, March 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Learning Light has clarified its comments about including much of the intellectual property of Becta on its E-learning Centre website, following new information which has come to light.

Learning Light, the Sheffield-based centre of excellence which, among other things, publishes research on the UK and other European e-learning markets, recently placed a wealth of Becta-owned information on its E-learning Centre website (www.e-learningcentre.co.uk).

At the time, Learning Light believed that the E-learning Centre website was the only place where this information was available - following the closure of Becta under the Coalition Government's public spending cuts.

However - as Learning Light's director of operations, David Patterson, explained: "Yesterday, we were contacted by Ian Chowcat, who is Head of Learning Innovation at Sero Consulting Limited. He pointed out that: 'The Becta website is in the National Archives and the Institute of Education is hosting the official legacy repository of Becta research documents - including some in which I was involved.'

"Naturally, we're deeply grateful to Ian for bringing this to our attention," Patterson continued.

"Of course, the fact remains that this Becta material is available on the E-learning Centre website - which regularly attracts up to 100,000 'hits' a month and contains a wealth of e-learning and learning technologies related information.

"The Becta Collection is easily accessible and freely available for viewing at http://www.e-learningcentre.co.uk/Resources/Becta_Collection," he added.
