Organizations are rapidly adopting collaboration technologies to deliver effective distance learning and education. Many are also looking at the use of these tools as part of their integrated learning management system. However, most of these tools are point solutions and struggle with delivering a scalable and cost effective process at a global level.
In this web seminar you will hear first hand how to:
Overcome the challenges of distance and costly face to face training
Coordinate information/discussions with multiple global sites in real time
Create a global online environment
Develop online resources
Join us as Harvard Medical School shares how they use online collaboration to deliver worldwide (WW) distance training to doctors around the world on the newest HIV research and care for infected patients.
The HOPE Program (HIV Online Provider Education), led by the faculty and staff at Massachusetts General Hospital and Partners AIDS Research Center, links physicians in remote locations by using one of the leading collaboration tools, Saba Centra. The twice monthly online conference series involves Doctors from the US, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean at more than 50 different site locations. This series has proven to be a very successful way for physicians around the world to share experiences, research and complicated medical cases.
