COVID-19 Training Examples #274: Challenge | Recap
Seven years ago, we started the e-learning challenges to help course designers practice and develop their skills while also building an e-learning portfolio.
Though the challenges are always practical and based on core e-learning skills (even this one), they aren’t usually tied to specific causes or real-world topics.
I think the last topic-specific challenge we did was during the Ebola virus outbreak. The examples you shared were amazing and helped educate all of us on a difficult topic.
With COVID-19, we have another opportunity to help others learn about this virus, how it spreads, and how to stay safe.

We’re already seeing some timely and well-designed COVID-19 examples shared in the community. Below is a list of interactions and mini-courses that Allison curated.
