Practical tools and references to support learning

Resources bring together practical tools, reference materials, and guidance that support learning across community and campus media.

Some resources are created by NCRA/ANREC. Others are drawn from trusted partners and sector organizations. Together, they provide context, clarity, and support before, during, and after learning activities.

Resources are designed to be used when needed — as reference points, refreshers, or deeper dives — rather than as standalone courses or required reading.

How to use this page

Resources may support:

  • Orientation and shared understanding

  • Learning pathways and guided sessions

  • Governance and compliance responsibilities

  • Day-to-day practice at stations

You may encounter resources that are:

  • Short or in-depth

  • Policy-focused or practice-oriented

  • Written, recorded, or interactive

Each resource includes a brief description to help you decide whether it’s relevant to you.


A note on sources

Resources on this page may link to materials hosted by NCRA/ANREC or to resources created by partners, member stations, or sector organizations.

When external resources are included, they are selected because they are:

  • Relevant to community and campus media

  • Aligned with sector values and standards

  • Useful in practice

Including a resource does not imply endorsement of all content from an external source.


Learning that supports action

Resources are part of a broader learning system that includes orientation, pathways, and facilitated learning opportunities. They are here to support understanding and action — whether you’re preparing for a role, navigating a responsibility, or looking for guidance at a specific moment.


Resources are reviewed and updated over time. Availability and format may change.

Section 1 — Upcoming Learning

Learning opportunities that are scheduled and open for registration.

Includes:

  • Live online sessions

  • In-person sessions

  • Hybrid sessions

Why this works:

  • Most urgent information first

  • Clear call to action

  • Naturally time-limited


Section 2 — Available On Demand

Learning opportunities you can access at any time.

Includes:

  • Recorded webinars

  • Conference session recordings

  • Curated video or audio learning (including YouTube, when appropriate)

Why this works:

  • Reduces pressure

  • Encourages self-paced learning

  • Keeps value visible after live delivery


Section 3 — Past Learning (Archive)

A record of learning that has taken place but may no longer be available.

Includes:

  • Past live sessions without recordings

  • Time-bound discussions or caucuses

Why this works:

  • Preserves institutional memory

  • Shows scope and continuity (important for funders)

  • Avoids “dead links” in primary sections

This section can be collapsed or lightly styled.


What each listing should show (minimal, consistent)

Each learning opportunity should include:

  • Title

  • Brief description (1–2 sentences)

  • Format
    (Live • Recorded • In-person • Online • Hybrid)

  • Availability
    (Upcoming • On demand • Archived)

  • Related area (optional)
    (Governance, Programming, Leadership, etc.)
