Growing Digital will investigate how effective electronic research and learning techniques within the field of Children and Family services are currently, and can be in the future.
The project will look at the current state of play in terms of the availability of information and communications technology (ICT) within partner agencies in order to inform the possible introduction of new online learning and research initiatives. Such initiatives can include the creation of learning resources tailored to these environments that are both suitable to those who use them, and provide an efficient and useful implementation of evidence informed practice.
