Fiona Sheen, Virtual College Learning Technology Consultant, commented, "The housing sector is currently undergoing a period of reform during which levels of quality provision must be maintained despite major changes. This change is taking place at a time when significant budget constraints are also at play and efficiency savings are high on the agenda.

At this time of change, it is important that the most effective learning programmes are in place to support the transformation and aid cost savings. Online training means a clear, consistent message is delivered across all staff and ensures learning and development programmes provide a sense of stability during change."
