Hello Exec Group Members!

You have been invited to be a member of the LLN Wider Horizons Exec Group because we would welcome your contribution to the building of our web portal.

The broad aim of the Exec Group is to steer the planning and development of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Lifelong Learning Network “Wider Horizons” project. Wider Horizons is a web portal project that will be the “glue” that holds together the services of the LLN by providing a “one-stop-shop” for leaners, educators and employers from our region.

The Exec Group will discuss how best to:

• Communicate ideas
• Research recent developments
• Tap into local expertise to help design and build the portal
• Bring own expertise to the table
• Debate the best way forward for the portal
• Prototype each stage of the development
• Test the software and make recommendations
