[LINK] How to convert handouts to interactive learning objects

[Tom Worthington]

A free series of workshops on e-learning is being sponsored by the 
Australian Government. The next is on how to create e-learning 
materials using free software, in Canberra, Thursday 24 July: 
<http://flexiblelearning.net.au/act>.

These are aimed at the vocational education sector, but could also be 
of use to school and university people. I attended a previous seminar 
in the series on how to write a business case for e-learning, which 
was useful:
