Established in 2014, the ECA Learning Hub is well regarded for producing high-quality online professional learning. We engage topic experts from the early childhood sector to translate research and identify best practice to develop professional learning that ‘speaks the language of educators and teachers’ and can be used across the diversity of settings educators may be working in. 

The ECA Learning Hub is designed to help educators gain a thorough and practical understanding of standards, frameworks and research about quality practice. It is also designed to be accessible, affordable and contemporary to ensure quality professional learning is available, no matter where and when it is needed. A library of over 90 self-paced modules, interactive webcasts and on-demand webinars across a breadth of topics ranging from pedagogy, WH&S, planning and leadership are available on the hub. 


Modules

Our online learning modules give you the latest information and advice at a time that suits you. Text, videos and interactive activities offer a practical understanding of quality practice in early childhood and school-aged settings.


Webinars

Our webinars are on-demand studio-quality online seminars.  The webinars explore topics in great depth.  Gain access to on-demand webinars as part of a Learning Hub Subscription or purchase webinars individually online.


Webcasts

Webcasts are a blend of modules and on-demand webinars courses.  In a webcast, the subject matter expert will present information on the topic through a series of videos but also also include interactive elements (like a module) and including stop points for reflection or in-service tasks throughout the webcast.

I have tended to veer away from this kind of learning but found it incredibly easy and so worthwhile. Thank you so much for the opportunity, I look forward to joining many more of your webinars from now on!

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  •  The Learning Hub has been a valuable method for educators to access quality training and contemporary practice. It is a cost effective method of providing training particularly for rurally located services. The modules are also able to be workshopped in a team, which means that all educators are receiving the same information.

    Annette Millard, Learning Hub Annual Subscription holder

  • The subscription is great, I would definitely recommend it. Not only is it good for experienced educators like myself but also for any educator at any level. I have been using the program as a resource tool for discussion – reflecting on our current practice and opening discussion with other educators at our service. 

    Sharon, Learning Hub Annual Subscription holder

  • Our service really enjoys using the Learning Hub. It allows educators to complete training on a variety of topics at times that suit the service – thank you!

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  • Thank you for making learning so accessible. I feel I am able to keep up to date with the latest information in a place and at a time that suits me. I love to keep learning and your courses are a great help.

  • Being in a rural and remote location, we don’t have access to a lot of professional development training. I love that the Learning Hub is just a click away. My staff don’t even have to leave the building!
