We carried out a ’guided trial’ of Modern Councillor before we subscribed to it. This involved Members registering to attend one of many sessions. The sessions were approx one hour long and involved a maximum of 6 Members attending a session. The session provided a brief overview of Modern Councillor and then Members were shown how to access and login to the area and then left to navigate the site themselves with the presence of myself in the room to be on hand for those Members who were not that confident using IT.

Hi Stewart – we are currently working with a company called LG Futures (who provide finance training across the public sector including to members and officers) to develop a suite of e-learning addressing public sector finance. We will be producing an introductory module for councillors which we will be repurposing for members – this is likely to be in October. Drop me a line (deborah@learningpool.com) if you would like more details.

Do the majority of your members find e-learing a uesful way to learn?

I too would be interested in such a course
regards
Stephanie
