Description: This note looks briefly at a key problem confronting trade union educators: how to handle topics which involve complex information. There are several different parts to this problem: The range of topics facing trade union educators is immense, and growing all the time. Safety, pensions, compulsory tendering, new technology, the list seems to be endless. Trade union education must develop an approach that allows us to take all these and other issues on board in an effective and rational way. Many participants on trade union courses don't have highly- developed 'information skills', such as looking up a reference book, using an index, or gutting a document for key points. There is a shortage of tutors with detailed knowledge of complex topics, and Of subject experts with educational experience.
