The Working Men's College (WMC) situated in Camden, North London, is the oldest surviving adult education institution in Europe. The ICT Programme Manager at WMC, believes that e-learning offers learners more control over their learning, thus improving retention. As part of the audit process for developing e-learning, he looked at a number of initiatives. One of those considered was Classroom Performance System (CPS) which can be used in conjunction with a computer and interactive whiteboard. Everyday life scenarios are frequently used on ESOL courses to promote use of language and reinforce understanding. e-learning has been incorporated into lessons to deliver learning through these scenarios in an interactive and engaging way.
