Ep 5 - The importance of creativity

If you work in a charity or the public sector and are interested in the design of elearning (did anyone say niche?), then this is the podcast for you. 

Each episode will focus on a different aspect of elearning design and will include conversations, interviews and general musings from the people in the know and on the ground.

The podcast sits alongside a blended learning programme of the same name.
