At CLS, we offer our established CLS Projects website as our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), a proven solution already used by over 800 health and social care professionals across Ireland. This platform provides seamless access to training materials and supports ongoing learning long after program completion.

​

In addition, many CLS Educate programs are enhanced by the CLS Inform Apps. Developed in-house, these apps are available for iOS, Android, and desktop/laptop devices. They support offline access for users with limited connectivity and feature a news feed to keep participants engaged even after the program ends. The app can be tailored for open access or secure, registered login based on customer requirements.

We prioritise interactivity in our virtual classrooms by using the Zoom platform. To ensure a smooth experience, we assist users with downloading and testing Zoom (or an alternative platform) well before training begins. Detailed access instructions and support via telephone or email are provided. A full schedule of Zoom sessions is available via the VLE and email, along with backup options such as Zoom phone numbers or Google Meet in case of technical issues.

​

Our facilitators foster a sense of community by encouraging camera use, organising breakout groups for collaborative case studies, and leveraging interactive tools like chat, screen annotation, polling, and non-verbal feedback to keep our sessions engaging.

Understanding the busy schedules of our participants, all post-program materials—including practical tools, templates, and resources—are made available through the VLE for ongoing reference. Prior to the program, we use an anonymous Survey Monkey survey to gather insights on participants’ roles and their familiarity with the course topic. We also conduct pre- and post-program evaluations via Survey Monkey to continuously improve our offerings.

​

This comprehensive approach ensures that our training remains accessible, interactive, and supportive—providing a robust learning experience tailored to the needs of health and social care professionals.
