Overview: In February 2023, OpenWHO.org issued a Call for Abstracts describing how the learning platform has been used in local, national or regional contexts, or how learning content has been adapted for use outside the platform.

OpenWHO reviewed 420 submissions from across the world and 40 finalists were selected to present posters about their work at the virtual event.

These case studies describe OpenWHO use on the ground by health professionals and communities, providing examples beyond what can be captured on the platform and contributing to the body of knowledge on the multiplier effect of open online learning.

Please note: All posters and presentations were produced by individuals from the global community who described using OpenWHO.org as a learning resource. The content does not represent WHO guidance and has not been independently verified.

Certificate: This is a video library only; no certificates are available.

This portal hosts video recordings of presentations given by OpenWHO learners so their stories can continue to be shared across the globe.
