Hear how the British Dental Association rapidly upskilled its members during the Covid-19 pandemic tomorrow

Group Totara

Join us tomorrow to hear from Stephen Macdonald, Head of Education at the British Dental Association and Joey Murison, Managing Director at Catalyst IT EU as we take a deep dive into the BDA’s Totara site. 

Covid-19 brought about unparalleled challenges that required the BDA to upskill its membership in record time and in tomorrow’s webinar we’ll look at exactly how this was achieved. 

If you work for a healthcare organisation, or If you’re looking for insights as to how to improve your own Totara site, come along tomorrow and ask questions to Stephen and Joey who have had their Totara site up and running since 2013.

This webinar takes place on the 23rd September 4pm London / 11am New York

Be our guest

Noticed anything different? If you’ve visited the Community this week, you might have noticed a change. We have added a new guest experience, so when you go to totara.community you are no longer automatically asked to log in. Of course, as a Community user you can simply select the Log in button in the top right to be on your way. Logging in is still the best way to use the Community because it allows you to interact fully with our content, and track your progress.

Do you have a colleague who hasn’t joined the Community yet? Why not send them to totara.community where they can now have a look around as a guest before setting up their account?

Weekly poll 

As well as the Totara Academy, Totara also provides support by providing extensive help documentation. In this week’s poll, we’re asking ‘When do you use the Totara Help site?’ Let us know your thoughts so we can continue to improve how we support you.

If you’d like to learn more about our Help Documentation you can watch a guided tour of Totara’s help documentation here.

Upcoming webinars

How the Met Office doubled their site logins with their ‘infinitely configurable LMS’

The Met Office is the national meteorological service for the UK. They provide critical weather services and world-leading climate science, helping people make better decisions to stay safe and thrive.

The Met Office and Catalyst got to work on the new Totara Learn system in mid-2017, and it went live in March 2018. Totara Learn has played a pivotal role throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in training the next cohort of weather forecasters, and in the summer of 2020, it was used to deliver the Met Office’s first-ever remote exams. This system has come into its own in the turbulent, rapidly changing times of 2020.

Join Brendan Kilshaw e-Learning consultant from the Met Office and Joey Murison, Managing Director at Catalyst IT EU as they discuss how they successfully train weather forecasters and discover how COVID-19 completely transformed the way that the Met Office delivers training.

The webinar takes place on the 13th October at 4pm London / 11am New York
