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 learningfrom both the learner’s and the tutor’s perspective.  \nKeywords: Political Education, Community Education, Adult Education, Salmon’s Five-Stage Model, Intrinsic Motivation, Online Learning Environment, Lifelong Learning  \nIntroduction  \nThe Irish system of Local Government consists of 31 local authorities. Four of these, all centred in Ireland’s capital city of Dublin, have approximately equal numbers of men and women elected councillors. Outside of Dublin the number of male councillors exceeds women by some margin. This is particularly acute in rural Ireland. For example, following the 2019 local elections, 95% of the councillors elected in the midlands county of Longford were men. In the North West county of Donegal, 89% of the councillors are men. Concern atthe under-representation of women in the local authorities of the North WestMidlands region was the catalyst for the formation of the See Her Elected (SHE) programme in 2019. SHE is a joint initiative between 50:50 NorthWest (a group who advocate for equal representation for men and women in Irish politics, particularly in the NorthWest of Ireland) and Longford Women’s Link (a social  \nenterprise in County Longford who work to ensure that women in Longford can fulfil their potential in a safe and equal society). The programme is funded by the Irish Government’s Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. SHE is a feminist, community led rural initiative to support women into political life. With a focus on the 2024 local elections, project planning for 2020 included a strong emphasis on encouraging women in rural communities to engage in politics. We follow Ireland’s Central Statistics Office’s (2019) definition of rural communities as those with moderate or low urban influence.  \nSHE planned to connect with women in their communities with a view to building up networks of women interested in politics. Our ambition for the earlier years of the programme was to draw women into becoming increasingly knowledgeable about local politics rather than targeted candidate training for an election still four years away. We wanted to do this in a way that was creative, and would attract women with a curiosity about how politics works, but who may well shy away from formal political education. A flexible mix of workshops, classes and events were all in various stages of planning when COVID-19 required a rethink. From that rethink, the idea of SHESchool emerged as a way of providing accessible community education to women in their homes, free and online.  \nWe have structured our paper as follows. We begin with a brief contextual summary of key points from scholarship that seek to explain the overrepresentation of men in local government in Ireland. We draw particular attention to those relating to self-perceived qualification differences between men and women. We then situate a mapping of the pedagogical and andragogical aspects of the SHESchool response to COVID-19 within the framework provided by Salmon (2011, 2013) . Our paper takes a quantitative approach through interrogating survey data completed by SHESchool participants, supplemented by reflexive observations from the SHESchool tutor.
