    Welcome to UNISON's e-learning site

    This site hosts a number of online learning resources for UNISON members. 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.

    To login to this site, you will need a My.UNISON account. If you don't already have one, you can set one up here. Then, use the button at the top right of this page to login.

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

    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.
