It took a global pandemic to realise this platform, yet it is now a firmly established part of our teaching programmes.
Initially intended to have only short content from our own seminars and for our entertainment, we now host multiple presenters and are able to link the content to face-to-face seminars.
This can be for either pre-learning content to ensure the seminars are spent doing or for video libraries to ensure the material covered will become and remain useful in your daily practice.
Friends for over 30 years, we, Jesper Dahl and Ulrik Sandstrøm, have forged remarkably similar careers spanning the highest levels of elite sports and international lecturing.
We have now decided to collate a combined 60+ years of clinical practice and teaching experience to develop an online learning platform unlike any other.
To achieve this, we asked previous delegates to fill out a detailed questionnaire around what the best possible online learning experience should look like.
Convenience of learning at your own pace in your own time as well as the ability to interact and learn with colleagues were key factors throughout. This may sound mutually exclusive, but we feel we’ve hit the brief with recorded video lessons available to view at your convenience; combined with a discussion forum for each course, where you can interact with fellow learners as well as the course instructor.
Some learning is ideally suited for a quiet space with time for reflection on previous experiences and studies.
We are sure you have often longed for a pause button in live presentations to allow you to double-check a fact or find that article you read earlier.
You can now pause, rewind, and review the material entirely at you your own pace. You can also ask questions of the presenter or the other learners having done that particular module.
Ability to pause the presentation - even leave it for hours or days - and be able to return to the exact point you left it.
Quizzes that make you think differently about the material.
Ability to comment on the material and discuss your perspectives with other learners - even if they are not in the room with you or seeing it at the same time as you.
Full validation of your post-graduate learning for CPD, CME, etc., with custom certificates and backup of attendance.
Pre-learning for some seminars and a video library covering the practical aspects covered in others.
In the medium term, we will gradually and consistently expand our list of presenters and topics covered.
The quality of the presentations will be uniform. You can plan a journey of continuous learning from either choice of topics or guided by other learners in the discussions in courses you have already completed.
What was originally a longer-term goal is now a reality: We arrange live events with several unique features, which will again ensure the best possible learning experience. An example of this is follow-up online Q&A sessions about a month after you attended the seminar. This ensures the best integration of the new learning when you have used it practically in your practice for a while.
Who knows, eventually we may also arrange conferences with the highest level of multimedia integration, community forums for discussion, and social media guidance for your best experience on the day - and beyond.
