E-Learning Advisory Group

The College acquired and launched in September 2016 its own Learning Management System Learnit to host and manage e-learning materials. Learnit is administered by College staff and supported by the vendor SAP Litmos (previous vendor Learning Seat). Learnit offers a single platform to all College Fellows, Affiliates and Associates and CPD participants to access both the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) CPD Online catalogue and College developed resources. Learnit tracks activities and records CPD hours awarded to Fellows, Affiliates, Associates and CPD Participants. Learnit is integrated with the College MyCPD portal.

At its March 2017 meeting, the Board approved the E-learning Strategic Plan. One of the key priorities of the E-learning Strategic Plan is to define a clear decision making process for creating e-learning resources. This includes the creation of an E-learning Advisory Group (the Advisory Group) comprising of subject matter experts from the College membership.

The Advisory Group reports to the Education Committee.
