Puta, Chilunga
Dear Colleagues.
The Better Immunization Data Learning Network (BLN) invites you to join a webinar entitled “Sharing and Reusing Health Training Content: An Introduction to ORB”.
mPowering's ORB platform has recently been launched to help promote the sharing and re-use of openly licensed health worker training content. The aim of this webinar is to provide an introduction to the platform and why it's needed; the presenters will provide an overview of the content and explain how resources may be submitted and re-used to increase the availability of high-quality training content to frontline health workers. You will hear from two of mPowering’s partners about the value they see in sharing their open source content on ORB, and plans to use the content in upcoming maternal and child health programs.
This webinar should be of interest to both technical and non-technical personnel with an interest in improving the performance of frontline health workers for better implementation of health programs.
Join our seasoned speakers, Lesley-Anne Long, Alex Little, Francis Webster and Jodi Lis on 22 July, 2015 from 1600hrs to 1700hrs CAT (Central African Time) [or 1400 hours -1500 hours GMT].
We hope you can join us for this event and also share the invitation with your colleagues. Please register using the registration link below to confirm your attendance and receive instructions for how to connect to the webinar. If you have any questions, contact Reginah Munsanje at rmun...@path.org
