What is the online campus?
Our online campus is designed to deliver engaging, accessible and relevant education to people impacted by dementia through online or “e-learning” courses.
An e-learning course is similar to an online workshop, where participants learn about dementia through videos, readings and interactive activities. The difference is an e-learning course can be taken anytime, anywhere you have access to an electronic device and internet connection, and at your own pace, because we understand that flexibility is important.
Our courses will equip users with the knowledge and skills they need to help people living with dementia remain engaged and supported throughout the journey.
