The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), an independent population health research center, makes global health information available to the public via online tools such as the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Compare. IHME sought a way to train policymakers, researchers, and public health practitioners how to use their online data visualization tools so they can increase their impact on global health for good. In-person training already existed but was expensive and many stakeholders couldn’t travel to participate.
The AllenComm Solution
AllenComm worked with IHME to build an online training that would provide a way to widely distribute the curriculum and educate learners about the GBD Study. The course was built in small, less-than-ten-minute micromodules in several categories, to help learners from all over the world understand and critically evaluate the key metrics from the GBD Study. Micromodules include a primer which introduces basic knowledge about the tool, a thorough view of applications for the research and metrics, and stories that illustrate successful ways the tool is already being used all over the world.
"The folks at AllenComm were kind and generous and helped us deliver a quality training product to develop our staff skills and knowledge."
