by Ethos public relations

Housing e-Academy, one of the country’s leading providers of e-learning in the social housing sector has won a contract with Newcastle based Home Group

Home Group which manages 52,000 homes and provides care and support services to more than 20,000 people across the UK each year, is working to develop a blended learning approach for staff and tenants.

Kristina Henry, Group Leadership Development & Stonham Learning Manager for Home Group said: “The main appeal of working with the Housing e-Academy is the range and quality of e-learning solutions on offer - not just for developing our colleagues but also for our customers and clients.

“We recognise that learners respond to different ways of learning other than traditional classroom based workshops which is why we have created opportunities to access e-learning.

“Our relationship with Housing e-Academy complements our plans for a greater ‘blended’ approach to learning.”

Home Group has signed up for the Housing e-Academy Gold membership package which provides access to 12 e-learning modules in branded areas of Learning Management Systems for all staff for one year.

“Many organisations are recognising the benefits of using a mix of different learning environments - or blended learning,” said Chloe Weatherhead Head of Housing e-Academy.

“As providers look to save money without compromising on quality or standards, e-learning provides a value for money, flexible and effective way to ensure that both staff and tenants are well trained and informed.”
