Gomo’s four-part webinar series is for companies and individuals now faced with a need to transition their training programs from face-to-face to digital, or increase the scale of their digital offering quickly.

Gomo, the cloud-based eLearning authoring, delivery and analytics platform, is presenting a four-part series of webinars specially tailored to companies and employees who now find themselves working from home due to the global coronavirus pandemic. 

The highly practical series, ‘eLearning for a Home-Based Workforce’, runs from Thursday 16 April until Tuesday 5 May and all recordings will be made available to watch on-demand for interested parties who cannot attend.

The how-to webinar series is presented by Gomo’s Huw Edwards, who has over seven years of experience supporting organizations with their authoring tool needs. Huw is joined by expert guests from sister companies within Learning Technologies Group, LEO Learning (learning content, strategy and technology specialists) and Watershed (learning analytics experts). 

“In these unprecedented times, we’re excited to present this practical webinar series, covering the end-to-end needs of training in our current ‘working-from-home’ realities,” said Gomo’s Huw Edwards. “Topics include how to quickly and easily take training from a face-to-face environment to a digital one, the challenges of training a workforce that works from home, creating engaging eLearning content, and ways to analyze the effectiveness of eLearning.”
