Learn My Way is our free online platform that helps people gain basic digital skills and build confidence in using the internet.
Digital skills & confidence are the foundation of being digitally included. These days you need to know how to use the internet or technology to use public services, work or stay in touch with loved ones. Yet, 7.5 million working-age adults lack digital skills for work, and 8.5 million lack the most basic digital skills. We're on a mission to change that.
Initially teaching digital skills with two learning platforms in 2018, we won the Bronze award in the Best Use of Blended Learning in the UK Learning Technology Awards. In 2021, Make It Click, a programme funded by Google.org, came to a close but our online learning platform Learn My Way remained. We refreshed Learn My Way in spring 2023 with up-to-date digital content for our modern world.
Thousands of Digital Inclusion Hubs across the UK now use Learn My Way. People can visit registered hubs for support or use the platform independently to access hundreds of free topics. Learn My Way is available in English and Welsh.
