PROJECT OVERVIEW
Creating a digital learning space for DICE fellows
The DICE LMS Portal was designed to support British Council’s Developing Inclusive and Creative Economies programme by bringing fellows into one structured digital environment. The platform helped social and creative entrepreneurs continue learning, access resources, and remain connected beyond face-to-face programme activity. The portal provided a central space for learning material, webinar recordings, community discussions, and collaboration opportunities. It allowed fellows to engage with programme content digitally while supporting the wider DICE objective of strengthening creative and social enterprise capacity.
The Mandate
Building a structured online support platform for fellows
The requirement was to create a digital portal that could support DICE fellows with online learning, shared resources, recorded sessions, discussions, and community interaction. British Council needed a platform that could extend programme support beyond physical sessions and provide fellows with continued access to learning material. The portal needed to be simple, accessible, and organised so fellows could find resources, participate in discussions, revisit webinar content, and stay connected as part of a wider learning community.
The Environment
Supporting entrepreneurs during a shift to digital learning
DICE supported creative and social entrepreneurs working across diverse sectors and geographies. After Covid-19 disrupted physical interaction, the programme needed a stronger digital environment where fellows could continue learning and engaging with each other. Without a structured portal, learning resources, webinar recordings, discussions, and collaboration opportunities could become scattered across emails, links, files, and informal channels. The DICE LMS Portal was created to bring these elements into one accessible digital space.
Our Role
Delivering a learning portal for community, resources, and digital engagement
Centangle developed the DICE LMS Portal as an online learning and engagement platform for British Council’s DICE fellows. The work focused on creating a structured digital environment where users could access exclusive learning resources, view webinar recordings, participate in discussions, and connect with other fellows. The platform helped transform programme support from disconnected digital touchpoints into one organised online learning and community experience.
The Challenge
DICE needed to continue programme support through one structured digital space
The DICE programme supported social and creative entrepreneurs through learning, mentoring, community building, and collaboration. When programme engagement moved online, fellows needed a central space where they could continue accessing resources, recordings, learning modules, and community interaction.
Without a dedicated portal, digital learning support could become fragmented across separate files, webinar links, communication threads, and informal discussion channels. The challenge was to create an LMS portal that could organise learning content, strengthen fellow engagement, and support continued interaction in one accessible environment.
Community Engagement Gap
Fellows needed a combined space where they could interact, discuss ideas, and find collaboration opportunities.
Digital Continuity Needs
The programme needed to continue supporting fellows online after physical sessions and face-to-face engagement were disrupted.
Structured Access and Participation
British Council needed a platform that could make content, discussions, and learning pathways easier for fellows to access and use.
THE SOLUTION
A digital LMS portal built around learning, resources, and community engagement
Centangle developed the DICE LMS Portal as a structured online platform for British Council’s DICE fellows. The portal brought learning resources, webinar recordings, digital modules, discussions, and collaboration opportunities into one accessible space.

MEASURED IMPACT
What changed after the DICE LMS Portal was developed
The DICE LMS Portal helped British Council move programme support into one structured online environment. Fellows could access learning resources, webinar recordings, electronic modules, and discussion spaces through a single portal instead of relying on scattered digital channels. By centralising content and community interaction, the platform strengthened digital continuity, learning access, and fellow engagement for the DICE programme.
