Giving Back - our charitable donations
No matter how hard we work in education and training, we're always aware of the privileges we enjoy in having access to lifelong learning.
From 1 January 2009, Flexible Text Limited will be donating a percentage of everything it earns to those who work to make education a right rather than a privilege in less developed countries. Our first project is a modest one - to fund a teacher's salary in India for as long as we can by donating to Christian Aid. For more, visit Christian Aid's website.
So why not join us? Work with us and we'll all be making an even greater contribution to world learning.

What kind of learner are you?
We did a quick poll in the office and if you’re anything like most of us, you’ll get stuck into using a new gadget and explore it freestyle before turning to the user handbook that’s come with it.

Bite-sized chunks...
Perhaps it’s the influence of the media and the web, but learners seem to have lost the quality of perseverance. Learning, as a result, is more palatable if delivered in small chunks. Because of this, we all welcome the new Qualifications and Curriculum Framework. The framework is a new way of recognising skills and qualifications. It does this by awarding credit for qualifications and units (small steps of learning). It enables people to gain qualifications at their own pace along flexible routes. For more, visit www.qca.org.uk/qca_8150.aspx. All of the learning created by Flexible Text is based on the principles of bite-sized chunks.

The Death of Lifelong Learning?
We hear a lot about opportunities for lifelong learning; but is it myth or reality? In this Guardian article, Alan Tuckett, Director of the National Institute for Adult Continuing Education, gives his views on developments, and weighs up the winners and the losers. We really believe that lifelong learning is everyone’s right and will work with any organisation to see if they can deliver the learning they want to their members/clients.
