CBREE teaches life skills to adults through video

How uQualio works for CBREE
The Challenge
CBREE, Community-Based Research for Engagement and Education, is a US nonprofit that researches adult and community learning and literacy. “We advocate for adult education”, says Ramo.
Many of the adults CBREE wants to reach are illiterate or underprivileged, so text-heavy material doesn’t work for them. As a nonprofit, CBREE also needed an affordable way to design and share video courses.
CBREE needed a solution that:
- Taught without relying on reading
- Worked on learners’ own devices
- Let learners come back to lessons
- Was affordable for a nonprofit
The Solution
CBREE chose uQualio to design and share its video courses.
It builds short courses on practical topics. One helps parents with media literacy. Another explains to adults “what to be aware of when signing a lease on a house.”
“All learnings can be viewed and reviewed on people’s devices when they are needed.”
Learners watch on their own phones or tablets, at their own pace, and can return to a video whenever the situation comes up.
The Result
uQualio gives CBREE a simple way to reach adults who learn best by watching:
- Practical courses on everyday topics
- Lessons available on learners’ own devices
- Content learners can review whenever they need it
- Video courses CBREE designs and shares itself
Ramo’s summary: uQualio is “wonderfully simple to use, efficient, and very good for education.”
The full conversation with Cory Logston Chief Communications Officer at CBREE
Q: Tell us a bit about CBREE and what you do?
“CBREE is an acronym for Community-Based Research for Engagement and Education. We are very much advocates for adult education. And we also do a lot of research on whether it works or not.”
Q: How did you first discover uQualio?
“It was through Rainbow.”
Q: What was the challenge that made you interested in a video eLearning platform?
“Well, my background is in media. I used to make commercials. I used to be a set designer for commercials. I make a lot of videos on my own, and I made some videos for my classes. So I felt like this was a good platform to get advocacy out there.”
Q: Why did you end up choosing uQualio as your provider?
“For this kind of training, advocacy training, you guys were the best. That’s why we decided on you. You make it easy.”
Q: How are you using the uQualio platform?
“I use it to educate. My target group mainly is parents.”
Q: What topics do you teach?
“Media literacy. For parents, I’m a very big proponent of it. Because if parents don’t know how to teach their children media literacy, how are the children going to know?”
Q: What problem is it that you’re hoping to solve?
“The world’s problem? No. I just want parents to be aware of the dangers, and of teaching their children how to be responsible on the internet, how to be ethical and use their values.”
Q: How far are you in the process?
“I’m getting ready to make a lot of videos. I’ve got three up, so I’d say I am about a third of the way through.”
Q: From what you’ve seen so far, what do you like the most about uQualio?
“Well, first of all, it’s the customer service, because you’ve been fantastic. And you just showed me some more things that you’ve done that make it easier and more user-friendly.”
Q: What has surprised you the most or made you the happiest about uQualio?
“Well, that new thing you just showed me, the video recording tool, was really cool. I did not realize the technology was there. But what surprised me the most is the fact that I can get it out there through uQualio, because I was not able to before. I belong to a California psychology association, and I’ve actually been sending some of my colleagues my videos through uQualio.”
Q: What are you hoping to achieve for parents once they find the courses?
“Education. You know, it’s all about education. Once we know things, we can fix them.”
Q: Why would you recommend uQualio to someone who might be on the fence?
“It’s a fantastic way to get your product, your ideas, your advocacy out there.”
Q: If you were to recommend uQualio to your best friend, what would you say?
“Like I just said, it’s the best way to get yourself out there. It’s good marketing, it’s good for advocacy, it’s good for education. It’s a good way to get things out.”
Q: What would you say to other NGOs looking at uQualio?
“I think I kind of said the same thing. Education.”
