Important Learning Center Updates 

Posted by Diana Edwards Supervisor, Rotary International Regional Membership Officer I Membership Development

Welcome everyone! I’m Diana Edwards, the Regional Membership Officer for zones 28 and 32. If we’ve not met yet I’m sure we will soon. 

I wanted to share some new updates that’s happening in the Learning Center, please feel free to pass along as needed.

Mobile Update!

We launched the new mobile app. Anyone who had the Go Learn app should remove it from their phones. The app has had over 11,000 downloads since 27 May. (If you’re experiencing any difficulties, please contact learn@rotary.org).

 

2024-25 Highlights

  • 15% of members use the Learning Center (this number remained the same compared to last year because we have done several data refreshes to have a more accurate count, there is also an unknown number of members being counted as non-members due to their My Rotary account not being connected to their club).

  • 377,310 course completions which is a 23% increase from last year.

  • 9,560 average number of unique learners that visit the Learning Center monthly, a 17% increase from last year.

Learning Plan Titles:

All learning plan titles have been revised. We have removed Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced in the titles and replaced it with Essentials since the content is based on our policies and best practices based on our Action Plan, the content is essential for club and district leaders. Courses do not replace in-person learning, they should get the policies and best practices from courses and discuss implementing them, regional issues, and idea sharing in in-person learning events.

 

If you link to any of the discontinued courses on My Rotary, please have them removed. If you link to any of the learning plans on My Rotary, please update the titles and links.
