As a charity, the American Cancer Society (ACS) relies on the goodwill of volunteers who donate their time to support cancer patients and their families and raise much-needed funds for the organization. All volunteers require training, and the ACS has implemented eLearning and live webinars to help save the precious time the volunteers are giving up in order to assist in the cause.

Kineo has implemented Totara LMS as an online learning center, providing the volunteers with easy access to learning content at home and on their personal devices. One of the key elements of the project has been to customize the look of the system and its navigation so ACS volunteers feel at home. The Kineo team achieved this by creating a branded interface based on the ACS’s main public website.

Steve Harris, Senior Learning Technologies Consultant at ACS, comments, "Our number-one goal was to create a site that our volunteers would feel comfortable using and respond to positively. They range from high schoolers to retirees, so anything we implemented had to be user friendly."

He continues, "The solution that Kineo has created for us is very impressive. We get great comments about how easy the learning center is to use and the help it provides volunteers in finding what they need. In fact, the feedback has been over the top positive!"

Steve Lowenthal, Head of Kineo US also comments, "We're delighted that the online learning center is delivering such a great service for ACS volunteers, as they do such an important job. This demonstrates the flexibility of Totara LMS beyond the corporate world, into an everyday situation where members of the public are finding and accessing the information they need, when and where they need it."

The ACS has joined a rapidly expanding community of Totara clients working with Kineo, including Vodafone, Sony, and Tesco.
