Research and Development of Appropriate Interpersonal Skills and Qualities in Supporting
Open, Flexible and E-Learning
The aim of this project is to research, develop and disseminate effective practice in supporting flexible learning in
adult education. The project partnership will identify successful strategies and work practices used by practitioners to
support new and marginalised participants in lifelong learning.
A consortium of 8 adult education institutions will be created, each from a separate European state, with a goal of
researching appropriate interpersonal skills and qualities of practitioners in supporting open, flexible and e-learning.
Each partner will analyse the interpersonal qualities and skills of practitioners in supporting the delivery of such
programmes within their own institution, identifying effective practice. An electronic forum will be created to enable
communication between participants. The project will identify a “Good Practice Framework”, which outlines effective
social support strategies in supporting flexible learning, and which identifies interpersonal skills and qualities essential
to practitioners.
