It sustains the idea of ICT as a tool for adult education, and promotes social inclusion of risk groups such as prisoners by providing training based on distance learning through the use of a learning management platform. The main objective of this project is to analyse the importance that e-learning can play in the training of women prisoners, in order to allow empowerment and greater social and digital inclusion, and to contribute to the full social reintegration of the inmate population by creating an integrated and structured intervention model that is likely to spread, replicate and lend credibility to an innovative strategy”(p. 123).
