Our E-learning courses have been available since June 2020. We are constantly exploring how we can do more for those registered on www.qmedcourses.in for all our courses - because it is important that they finish all of them and learn as much as they can. (The two free courses are very basic)
So far we had reasonably frequent webinar sessions - separately for each institution and for all those registered as individuals. In addition we have had focused sessions for individuals and small groups - at their request. We observed that small institutions had a larger percentage attending such events. However it still means that the number of individuals in each session has been small.
We tried something new in October. On the 23rd, we had a session that was open to all registered participants of our courses. Around 30 registered but only around 10 showed up. Only one of them asked questions and gave feedback. What was it that made others silent? Why did around 20 not show up?
Obviously lots of different factors. I am not listing them, but after brainstorming, we have made a fresh approach and I would rather share that.
Our new plan - Have a session every two weeks
We hope that a consistent and predictable schedule will make more people join in. We have planned sessions for the 2nd Friday and 4th Sat of every month. (We are open to changing this based on requests from majority)
Also - we have now started to ask participants what they would like us to cover. We have put in around ten options from which we have asked them to select up to three choices. We have also asked them if they would like anything else covered. The first of the newly planned events will be on November 12, 2021. We are sending out mailers today. We hope that the new plan will gradually encourage lots more participation.
Do wish us well!
A request - On the 30th of November is Giving Tuesday. GlobalGiving as always offers a matching donation to the donations we receive. It would be great if you could help us by asking just one friend to make a donation to our project. And if you choose to make one too, that would be icing on the cake :)
