Moderators e-learning

We (a group of researchers, users and moderators of online forums as well as public advisors) have co-designed e-learning for moderators of online forums. If you want to see it, please complete this online form.

After completion, you will be emailed a link to the e-learning package. This is so we can understand more about who accesses our training, as well as request feedback.

We also have an academic paper about the co-design process if you wish to find out more more.
