– This year’s British Association for Open Learning Conference will give
delegates a chance to conduct a learning and technology audit designed to help

the case study workshops taking place at the event, being held at the Scarman
House Conference Centre in Warwick on 29-30 April 2003. www.baol.co.uk

be tested in areas such as Microsoft Word and Excel and speed typing and data
entry. www.skillsarena.com
