The learning platform

Just completing the learning platform training day.
This looks very good.
Site is https://www.klp.rm.com.
You will need a password but we will slowly develop it during the next year.
Have a look if you can. It will turn out to be very good.
The virtual learning environment will be discussed more next year.
Information about it can be obtained from the site from > Using the Learning Platform
