Rapid Response Training: What You Need to Know About COVID-19 #274

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.

COVID-19 E-Learning Examples

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.

Understanding COVID-19

Last week, Articulate shared a carefully-researched Rise course on the novel coronavirus. If you’re looking for ideas on how to approach this week’s challenge, you’ll find a lot of great inspiration—and information—in this educational resource.

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to build a short demo or interaction around the coronavirus disease. You don’t have to create a full course. Instead, focus on something short and quick to address one area of the virus.

Here are a few topic ideas to get you started:

• General information about COVID-19 and the outbreak
• How does COVID-19 compare with other infectious diseases?
• Safety tips for healthcare and aid workers
• Facts vs. myths about COVID-19
• What are some typical signs and symptoms of infection?
• How do people become infected with COVID-19?
• What do Americans (or citizens of your country) need to know?
• 5 tips for talking to your kids about COVID-19
• How does COVID-19 affect the human body?
• COVID-19: Frequently Asked Questions
• What can I do? Can it be prevented? Is there a vaccine?
