How the Co-op embraced digital learning to reach a diverse audience

London Learning NewsActeon Communication and Learning

In 2017 the Co-op created a new Member Pioneer role to support their work in local communities. Member Pioneers are people from many backgrounds, with different mindsets and expectations about learning. With such a varied audience, how did the Co-op use learning to help them make great things happen in their communities?

Acteon will be presenting this seminar at Learning Technologies 2018 on Thursday 1 February at 11.45 in Theatre 5.

This case study explores how to tackle challenges like:

  • Moving from face-to-face to digital learning
  • Engaging diverse audiences – from partners to casual workers, to volunteers and part-timers
  • Balancing the needs of the tech-shy and the tech-savvy
  • Harnessing communications to ensure ongoing engagement
  • Shifting from 'spoon-fed' learning to a self-directed, digital culture

Jackie Belcher, Training and Communications Manager at the Co-Op will also be taking part in a conference session on Expanded Learning on 31 January at 11.10.  In this session they'll be exploring how to deliver learning effectively across large, complex and diverse organisations.
