Learning Works website
Following the weekly broadcast in Adelaide many of the Learning Works interviews are then added to the
Learning Works website.
The website is the key to making this media initiative accessible
Australia-wide. While listening to radio continues to be a very
important part of our daily routines, this radio project both
highlights the importance of lifelong learning and points listeners
to the Learning Works website, as a growing learning resource of mp3
audiofiles and fact sheets.
Educators in schools and in adult education, as well as individual
listeners with an interest in utilizing mp3 audio and related
online files, are invited to visit the Learning Works website
Producer / Presenter
Learning Works is produced and presented each week by Tony Ryan.
