For Partner Organisations
Let’s create legal education that meets a real need.
Bring together Brightlink’s legal education and learning-design experience with your subject, sector or organisational insight.
Together, we can explore how an identified learning need could become practical, structured legal education for the people you want to support.
Why Co-create?
Bring different expertise together around a real learning need.
Strong legal education can begin with different types of expertise. A partner may understand its sector, its workforce, a specialist subject, an emerging skills gap or a particular learner group. Brightlink brings legal education, teaching and learning-design experience. Working together can help turn those perspectives into structured learning.
Combine expertise
Bring together legal education, subject knowledge, employer insight and learning design.
Start with a real need
Focus development around an identified learner, workforce or sector requirement.
Design for the learner
Consider how content, delivery and support can work for the people the programme is intended to help.
Build something practical
Develop learning that connects knowledge with real professional contexts and progression.
Possibilities
Different needs can lead to different types of legal learning.
Short courses
Focused legal learning built around a particular subject, capability or development need.
Specialist modules
More targeted learning designed for a defined legal, professional or organisational context.
Employer or sector programmes
Learning shaped around an identified need within an organisation, profession or sector.
New learning concepts
Explore new approaches to legal education where there is a clear learner or professional need.
How It Works
From idea to structured learning.
-
Explore the need
Start with the people, problem or opportunity the learning is intended to address.
-
Bring the expertise together
Identify the subject knowledge, professional insight and learning-design expertise each partner can contribute.
-
Shape the learning
Explore the content, structure, delivery format, learner support and intended outcomes.
-
Review and refine
Review the proposed learning together and refine it before any agreed launch or delivery.
-
Agree the next stage
Where both parties want to proceed, define the responsibilities, approvals, delivery arrangements and other terms required.
Every co-creation project may be different.
Designed Around the Learner
Good content is only part of good legal education.
Course development should consider more than subject matter alone. Together, we would think through considerations such as:
- Who the learners are
- What they already know
- What they need to be able to understand or do
- How the learning connects with professional practice
- How content should be structured
- Appropriate delivery formats
- Opportunities to apply learning
- Learner support
- Accessibility
- Assessment or knowledge checking where appropriate
- Progression after the learning
Flexible Formats
The format should follow the learning need.
Depending on the agreed programme, delivery could include:
Online learning
Structured online content and resources where appropriate.
Live learning
Workshops, tutorials or facilitated sessions where they support the learning design.
Blended learning
A combination of online resources and live interaction.
Tailored delivery
A model shaped around the agreed learner group and programme requirements.
Working Together
Co-creation works best when each partner brings something valuable.
Contributions may include the following, depending on the project. These would be confirmed as part of the partnership, not assumed in advance.
Your Organisation
- Subject or sector expertise
- Understanding of the learner group
- Employer or professional insight
- An identified skills or development need
- Access to relevant stakeholders
- Feedback on the proposed learning
Brightlink
- Legal education expertise
- Learning-design experience
- Teaching expertise
- Learner-focused programme design
- Flexible delivery experience
- Specialist tutor input where appropriate
- Experience of online legal education
Before Development Begins
Some things need to be clear from the start.
- Purpose and intended outcomes
- Target learner group
- Course scope
- Roles and responsibilities
- Subject-matter contributions
- Development responsibilities
- Review and approval process
- Intellectual property
- Branding
- Delivery model
- Hosting and platform arrangements
- Accessibility requirements
- Data responsibilities where relevant
- Timetable
- Commercials
- Ongoing maintenance and updates
- Relevant accreditation or regulatory requirements where applicable
The precise arrangements would depend on the project and would need to be agreed between the organisations before development proceeds. Intellectual-property and content-use arrangements would need to be agreed as part of the partnership.
