Work Begins on Scout eLearning Platform

From the 21st to the 24th of October 2016, a team of volunteers and professional staff from different Regions met in Rabat, Morocco, for a meeting on World Scouting new e-Learning project. The vision of this project is to open up eLearning courses and lessons as a resource to Scouts and Leaders around the world to help share knowledge. Strategic and hands-on work was done towards implementing an eLearning platform that will be beneficial to all.

The structure of the platform will be based on edX, an open-source platform founded by Harvard University and MIT that powers edX educational courses and is freely available. Find out more about edX here.

More information about World Scouting e-learning platform will be shared as it becomes available.

This meeting also provided the opportunity to collaborate with the National Federation of Moroccan Scouting in such important areas as Adults in Scouting and Governance.
