The training started February 15th. Students could start studying whenever they had time. This pilot course had four tutorial sessions for each group and ended March 18th with a wrap-up session with instructions for the final exam and course evaluation. The course evaluation is two-pronged. One is to ask about the online material. The other is to ask about the process using the synchronous/asynchronous teaching tutorials in their language and asking them, “How will you use this training?”
The people came from very diverse backgrounds, such as from an investment group, national park service, human resources and more traditional OHS backgrounds such as mining and oil and gas.
WHWB will continue to fine-tune this method of training, much of which could continue post-pandemic.
