Inspiring Learning for All: Generic Learning Outcomes

The Inspiring Learning for All Framework was launched in 2008 by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). It was initially created as a self-help tool to enable museums, libraries and archives to develop their learning offer. It provided a performance improvement framework, promoted best practice, and helped organisations to assess and evidence the impact of their activities.
