In March 2020 the See Her Elected (SHE) programme moved its political education platform online in an initiative named SHESchool. The purpose of this case study is two-fold. Firstly, it provides an account of how an ability to adapt swiftly to the COVID-19 crisis created a successful online element to a project with a strong community education ethos. Secondly, it presents and analyses data provided by learners by utilising Salmon's five-stage model for teaching and learning online. In doing so, this paper contributes to our knowledge of the experience of online learning from both the learner's and the tutor's perspective.
