Hosted by the Better Immunization Data Learning Network, the presenters are mPowering Frontline Health Workers, Digital Campus, Medical Aid Films and Jhpiego.
Summary of webinar
mPowering’s ORB platform (http://health-orb.org) 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; we 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 about the value mPowering’s partners see in sharing their open source content on ORB, and plans to use the content in upcoming maternal and child health programs.
Learning Outcomes
After the webinar you will:
1. Understand the role of ORB in the mPowering mission to help improve the performance of frontline health workers.
2. Be able to explain what it meant by ‘open source content’ and ‘publishing content under a Creative Commons’ license.
3. Describe how to upload a resource to ORB, and explain the review process used to approve content for the platform.
4. Understand the value for both content developers and implementing organizations for sharing and re-using the content on ORB.
