Introduction
Welcome to MutualGain’s online learning platform, MutualiLearn. MutualiLearn is MutualGain’s online learningplatform; it is one of the access routes to our level 3 or level 4 qualifications in Building Social Capital through Community Engagement. Designed in house by the MutualGain team, this qualification is nationally accredited through the Open College Network (London) and Ofqual. It has been developed to help organisations to build social capital with communities through a high quality learning platform.
This guide has been developed to help you to select the indivi dual modules or level 3 or 4 bundle that suit your learning needs. Whether you are looking to purchase modules as an individual learner or for a number of learners, the guide will take you through the selection and payment process.
Getting Started – Choose Your Modules
To access the learning platform, please copy learning.mutualgain.org into your browser.
We have created a five step process to help to get you started. The five steps are shown below, but essentially, all you need to do is browse the modules available, select whether you want to learn online or offline and register using the button at the bottom of the Choose Your Modules page (see Fig 1.).
Fig 1.
Getting Started – Create Your Account
In this step, you need to provide some information that will allow you purchase the modules that you are after. Once you have added the required information, we will send you an email that will activate your account (see Fig.2 ). Don’t forget to check your spam in case the activation email drops in here.
Fig.2
Once you activate your account, you will receive a second email that will automatically select a password for you (see Fig. 3). It is really important that you copy this password and save it somewhere as you will need it later.
Fig 3.
Your next step will re-set your password. Having copied your password (see below), all you need to do is to click the re-set button. Your account is now active and you can log in.

Getting started – logging in
To log in, just enter the following URL into your browser – https://learning.mutualgain.org. You can then select the log in button as shown in the top right hand corner of Fig.5
Fig. 5
You will then be presented with the screen shown in Fig.5. Here you can add in your log in (usually firstname.surname) and enter the password that you saved earlier.
Purchasing Your Modules
If you are buying a bundle for the full level 3 or 4 qualification, then the easiest way to do this is to select the Our Modules tab at the top of the page and choose Level 3 or Level 4. You can then chose the bundle that you desire and add them to your basket (see Fig 6).
Fig.6
Once you have selected the correct bundle, you will be taken to the Basket Update page. This page contains a lot of information as shown in Fig 7.
Here, you can see the modules in your bundle. You can also see the price for your purchase and the number of seats purchased. If you are buying a number of seats, then this is where you use the Quantity button to increase the number of seats that you require.
Fig. 7
Once you click on Update Basket, your overall total will be calculated. Once you are happy that you have purchased the correct bundle and the correct number of seats, you can Proceed to Checkout or you can pay via PayPal.
Proceeding to Checkout
When you are ready to checkout, you will have to add in billing details as per Fig. 8.
Fig. 8
Most of the information required on this page is self-explanatory, however, it is important that you add a Group Name. This is the name that your group will be registered as on MutualiLearn. This is important as Assessors will be assigned to this group for marking purposes. If you are buying a large number of seats, then you may wish to register the learners in smaller groups e.g., Divisions, or work groups.
Adding Additional Seats
Once you have placed your purchase, you will be able to add some information in relation to the additional seats that you have paid for. You can add one seat (see Fig.9), or you can add multiple seats (Fig.10), depending on how many you have purchased. In each case, the person that you are adding will receive a confirmation email that will enable them to log in.
Fig. 9
If you choose to add one seat, you will see the screen shown at Fig.10
Fig.10
If you choose to add multiple seats, you will see the screen shown at Fig. 11.

When each new person initially logs in, they will be asked to supply information that is required to register them with the Open College Network (London). They will then be able to start their learning.
Ancillary Consideration
In the event that you forget to purchase seats, you can use the button highlighted in the Enrolled Users page to add additional learners.
