Learning Management Systems during the Pandemic
Organizations, world-wide have either abandoned their Learning and Development initiatives to cut on cost, or have invested more than ever in Learning by utilizing various LMS platforms.
Having this option will prepare any organization, whether profit or non-profit to future proof their goals.
In many cases, the use of an internal organization LMS can help involve everyone in educating each other especially during the time of the pandemic.
One good case is an online course for a company that requires every employee to finish a course about covid-19. This is one of the advantages of an online learning platform because employees can learn remotely. It can be self paced, or instructor led.
The main point is, cutting cost on learning will not be helpful for these companies in the long run, investing in a Learning Management System is actually a smarter move to make sure the company is in a god position, and that employees are well taken care of.
Here is a sample of a bite-size course from the World health Organization on Covid-19:

This kind of course can be consumed via any platform and is not only educational in a traditional sense. It can also help as technological first-aid. Being informed can save lives.
Thank you for sharing this resource. OpenWHO is doing a great job with providing the information and it is certainly helpful for individuals who have genuine interest in learning about Covid-19. But it feels like in the United States the problem seems to come down to things like how do people feel about their source of information and whether the presentation of information can illicit a meaningful connection to the consumer by way of story-telling. A company requiring employees to finish the course doesn't seem meaningful unless the platform requires meaningful engagement. (I took a quick peek at what is required to get a certificate of completion for a course. It doesn't required much more than a few clicks. Somehow I'm able to 100% complete a learning module without ever actually needing to read or view a video.) I don't think user interactions that forces a video to play for its full duration is the answer either, but it seems these courses are very limited in actually understanding learner engagement.
