Welcome to UNISON's e-learning site

This site hosts a number of online learning resources for UNISON activists. You will find a variety of short activities which you can complete on this site, as well as directions where to find other useful union learning resources.

Some of our learning resources are called 'e-notes'. Please note that these display best on a desktop computer, using a browser such as Chrome or Firefox. Older versions of Internet Explorer will not work, and iPad users in particular may also experience difficulty loading the resources. 

If you experience difficulty logging into the site, please contact us on learningandorganising@unison.co.uk.

Find out about all our learning opportunities on our website.

You may also be interested in online learning provided by the TUC.

Digital Organising

This suite of five linked workshops has been designed to introduce concepts of organising and campaigning in a digital context. Each module works as a standalone.

The self-guided Digital Organising: the basics module introduces some important concepts around digital organising as well as data protection, and is a prerequisite for all of the other modules.

Each module has supporting resources, so that if you can't take part in a scheduled workshop you can still explore the concepts at your own pace.
