Case Study

Jesus College: Empowering Change Through Online Learning

In 2021, Jesus College, at the University of Cambridge, selected OES to develop an interactive online course on their behalf. The launch of Preventing and Responding to Sexual Harassment and Violence marked Jesus College’s first short online courses as a revenue stream for the institution. Through careful planning, agile methodologies, and our commitment to quality, the partnership yielded a successful edX course launch within four months.

Objectives

Empower Individuals: To understand their roles in confronting sexual harassment and violence.

 

Provide Real-World Solutions: Equip learners with actionable techniques to respond to inappropriate behavior.

 

Ensuring Safety and Inclusivity: Fostering a culture of safety and respect among the diverse group of learners was a priority for Jesus College.

Our Approach

OES, in collaboration with Dr Sarah Steele and her team, adapted the academic content into an interactive online learning experience. Drawing on our expertise in iterative instructional design, the team developed the content, assessments, and media by prioritizing learner engagement and understanding. This approach allowed us to deliver the course within a three-month production cycle and guarantee the course content’s resonance and efficacy.

 

At one point, the team faced changing client needs and was required to implement adjustments quickly. One such example was shifting to on-location filming, but due to our agility and both teams’ dedication to transparent and speedy communication, we were able to meet the course go-live deadline and maintain the integrity and impact of the course.
