Self-directed learning

How does it work?

Participants have access to a password protected web-portal, reflecting your organisational brand. The portal would contain learning related to a range of topics based on your needs. Learning topics could include management and leadership; project management and ways of working; strategy and change; personal effectiveness or communications.

Each learning topic would include a number of modules. Each module introduces participants to a specific area of focus. Working through the activities in each module will help participants to develop their understanding and skills in these areas.

Outcomes for you and your organisation

By accessing this self-directed learning, participants will be able to:

• set their own learning goals
• connect their goals to their day-to-day work
• extend their knowledge and confidence
• build, refine and embed new skills
• use tools to shape their thinking
• reflect on their strengths, areas of development and comfort zones
• create action plans to use their learning
• reflect on the impact of their actions and use this evaluation to plan new actions
• embed learning into their working practice

Learning approaches

Participants can choose to work through the modules at their own pace, keeping a record of their learning. Modules could include:

• Information on a specific area of focus to increase knowledge and understanding
• Active learning using exercises and case studies to work through
• Videos to bring topics to life
• Quizzes for reflection and learning assessment
• Questionnaires and self-analysis tools to support participants to understand themselves and identify their strengths and areas for development
• Learning logs to enable participants to record their reflections and review and analyse their actions
