Why a club might use this
Useful local knowledge becomes accessible across distance and time, with questions answered transparently and resources retained after the session.
Use it when
Residents, volunteers, community organisations, partners, members and people who cannot attend place-based learning. Use when a defined audience has recurring learning needs that suit a live online format.
Before the club starts
A series curriculum showing audience question, learning outcome, speaker basis and resource for each session.
Speaker agreements covering conflicts, rights, recording, accessibility and non-partisan boundaries.
A secure platform, captioning, dial-in option, registration notice and tested technical runbook.

HIGH - inaccessible learning, speaker claims, recording consent and platform disruption require disciplined production.
