Online basics also provides access to guidance for people supporting someone to use the course, from tutors in learning centres to family and friends.
2008/09 STEM Directories (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
The 2008/09 STEM Directories (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are a source of enrichment and enhancement activities for schools and colleges. Three separate directories have been produced and launched in September 2008 to serve the needs of science, Mathematics and Design and Technology teachers across the UK.
The Mathematics directory comprises a collection of schemes and activities provided by organisations from across the UK that aim to enhance and enrich the curriculum. These schemes are usually based around events or experiences that cannot be delivered with standard school contacts and resources. Each activity is linked to the curriculum so that the impact of the experiences and outcomes can be sustained.
