Brand New Categories
All the categories have been reviewed and refreshed and we've added 3 new ones. Following feedback from the marketplace we now have a category for blended learning and there's one for the best use of social and collaborative technologies for learning. The project category also now covers private, public and third sectors.
In addition we've clarified the popular learning content and project categories to better reflect learner engagement. The content categories have moved away from ROI to concentrate solely on content. The project categories now encompass user evidence of return.
