Background
Obesity Canada is a world leader in providing practice-changing continuing education on obesity care for healthcare professionals.
The Problem
They had provided online training courses for several years, but their system was outdated and hard to manage. To gain the most from the system, students must be able to collaborate, but they struggled to use the system effectively, with limited scope for interaction with their fellow students or faculty.
The Solution
To address these issues, More Time To created a Private Professional Network for Obesity Canada and rebuilt their training system to work seamlessly within it. The design UI and UX were modified to simplify using the site, allowing students to complete courses and collaborate with their peers and lecturers.
Obesity Canada wanted to ensure that the data built up in the old system was not lost, so More Time To built and deployed a custom import function to allow data to be brought into the new system with ease.
The Outcomes
The results have been impressive. According to Nicole Pearce, Director of Education at Obesity Canada, “More Time To’s proactive and fast-acting nature was really impressive – they were always one step ahead and quick to address any issues that arose.”
For the investment equivalent of twenty courses, Obesity Canada now has a system that is simple to manage, looks great, and encourages dialogue between students. Course registrations have increased by 23% since the transition to the new site, and they can now devote their time to creating more courses instead of managing their system.
Next Steps
If you’re looking to implement an online training system or gain more time to devote to your healthcare membership organisation, speak to More Time To about how a Private Professional Network can work for you. The results speak for themselves.
“The quality of the site is excellent, and the design simplicity makes it easy for our users to navigate. What was really impressive was More Time To’s proactive and fast-acting nature – they were always one step ahead and quick to address any issues that arose. Their professionalism throughout the entire process was exceptional.”
“Before working with More Time To, I was running out of time for things, but now I have time freed up which is really helpful. I had been doing the website management and programming off the side of my desk, but it has to be done with someone like Chris, who understands it and understands the environment that is changing so quickly.”
