OVERVIEW

The Charity Learning Consortium is a membership organisation that provides eLearning to charities and not for profit organisations. The CLC was founded in 2001 by Martin Baker when six Charities were looking for a way of sharing resources with each other.

NETWORK

With now over 110 members the CLC provides a community where members can network with one another and share resources to achieve learning and development success. It delivers over 220 eLearning courses ranging from IT Skills, Soft Skills, Leadership and Management skills and more. The CLC provides a wide range of networking opportunities for its members by holding quarterly members seminars, where members have the chance to connect and learn from each other. At these quarterly seminars the CLC’s members are encouraged to join in on discussions, work-shops and listen to guest speakers. The CLC has an online community provided through their Learning Management System (Moodle) where the members have the opportunity to engage with each other throughout the year through forums and discussions.

Moodle

The CLC uses Moodle to store all of their eLearning courses that members have unlimited access to.

PROJECTS

The CLC like to be involved in various projects, one of them being Global Giveback UK which is a voluntary initiative to generate learning materials for the charitable sector. Its focus is to create new online content whilst working with Corporates who voluntarily donate resources. This is an on-going project and is open to all charities regardless to whether they’re subscribed to the CLC. There’s also their CLTV project which encourages users to record their own video content, such as tips on best practice and upload it onto The CLC’s video platform. This means members have a means of sharing resources with one another and learn from each other. The CLC have over 110 members from the charity and not for profit sector, some of the members include Barnado’s, Christian Aid, The Children Society, Mencap, Unicef, RSPCA, Breast Cancer Care and many more.
