How the Chartered College of Teaching Enhances Virtual Learning

About Chartered College of Teaching

Launched in 2017, the Chartered College of Teaching is a professional body that aims to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills to make the best decisions for their pupils. The team's mission is to celebrate, support and connect teachers to provide world-class education benefiting pupils and society.

Objective: connect with members and educators

Hannah and the team at the Chartered College of Teaching use webinars as a tool to connect with their members, regardless of location, and share research evidence and experiences with other teachers and educators. Hannah shared,

There is a human connection present in Livestorm webinars that you don’t get with other platforms.

Webinars are also used to support the organization's Chartered Teacher Program, which is a 15-month certification plan for teachers. An interactive and accessible platform is needed to connect teachers with other educators.

Additionally, webinars allow them to gather direct feedback from their members about their products and services, enabling the organization to tailor their offerings to meet the needs of their members.

Adoption: ease of use and rich features

Hannah Tyreman, Head of Online Learning at the Chartered College of Teaching, chose Livestorm because it was easy to use, accessible, and didn't require downloads (which tends to trigger firewalls). She added,

When we chose Livestorm, it was because it was simple to use and easy to access. We no longer have to worry about firewall issues.

The platform's speaking permissions gave them full control over how the public could ask questions and moderators could invite individual audience members to speak when needed.

Finally, Livestorm's rich engagement features like polls and embedding signup forms made gathering information and promotion easy. Hannah added, "The polls add quite a lot for us and we use them in our focus groups when we want to know information really quickly."

Results: engagement and connection

Hannah and her team saw many positive results after using Livestorm for their webinars. They were able to connect with their members across the globe, gather feedback, and tailor their products and services to meet their members' needs.

Livestorm's platform enabled them to support teacher learning and provide tailored support for early career teachers through interactive webinars. Embedding signup forms directly within their platform made promotion of webinars more convenient for the organization, saving them time, and improved the user experience for their members.
