Healthy e-learning:
Equipping Health Professionals for Practice

In this session, Michelle will provide a snapshot of the ins and outs of online learning at NPS, a not-for-profit organisation that started out with little knowledge, capacity and capability in e-learning, and progressed to an organisation with a team dedicated to developing, implementing and supporting online learning resources for health professionals. She will share the successes and lessons learnt in providing online learning to a diverse and growing external audience.
