Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Use PPN Learn to Train Others
PPN Learn can support more than individual professional development. Organizations, educators, program leaders, and training teams can use PPN Learn resources to provide structured learning for staff, trainees, teams, and other groups.
Whether you want to share a single resource, guide a group through a curriculum, or develop a more structured learning experience, the PPN Education team can help identify an approach that fits your training goals.
How Can I Use PPN Learn with My Learners?
Depending on your goals, audience, and reporting needs, there are several ways to incorporate PPN Learn resources into an educational or training program.
1. Share PPN Learn Resources
Direct learners to existing courses, curricula, toolkits, or other educational resources available through PPN Learn.
This may be a good option when you:
- Want learners to explore a resource independently
- Are recommending supplemental learning
- Do not need group-specific administration or reporting
- Want to incorporate PPN resources into an existing educational or training program
2. Create a Learning Cohort
A cohort can help organize learners who are completing PPN Learn content as part of the same institution, program, training initiative, or learning experience.
A cohort may be useful when you want to:
- Organize a defined group of learners
- Direct participants to selected PPN Learn content
- Support an institutional or program-based training initiative
- Monitor participation or completion when reporting is available
- Coordinate learning across a class, department, institution, or other group
3. Create a Structured Training Experience
For programs requiring additional organization, PPN Learn may be able to support a dedicated learning experience using existing PPN educational content.
Depending on the project, this could include:
- A curated sequence of existing PPN Learn resources
- Program-specific instructions or supporting materials
- Activities, assessments, or other learning components
- Defined completion expectations
- Learner enrollment or group management
- Appropriate reporting for designated course leaders
The appropriate approach will depend on your audience, educational goals, selected content, reporting needs, anticipated number of learners, and available resources.
Can My Organization Add Content to PPN Learn?
Organizations interested in developing or contributing educational content may contact the PPN Education team to discuss a proposed project.
Potential projects may include:
- Online courses or instructional modules
- Educational videos or presentations
- Case-based or scenario-based learning activities
- Knowledge checks or assessments
- Toolkits, curricula, and downloadable resources
- Facilitator guides and train-the-trainer materials
Proposed content should support pediatric disaster preparedness, response, recovery, or everyday readiness. Projects are reviewed collaboratively to determine alignment with PPN educational priorities, intended audience, learning objectives, platform requirements, accessibility standards, and available resources.
What Can the PPN Education Team Help With?
Depending on the training request, the PPN Education team may assist with:
- Identifying existing PPN Learn resources that align with your educational goals
- Determining whether learners should use existing courses or participate in a more structured learning experience
- Establishing and organizing learner cohorts
- Planning enrollment and learner access
- Identifying appropriate course roles and permissions
- Discussing available participation and completion reporting
- Organizing or adapting educational content for online delivery
- Supporting course design and development
- Testing the learner experience before launch
What Should I Know About Learner Reporting?
Reporting capabilities depend on how the learning experience is configured and the role assigned to the person reviewing learner activity. Not every PPN Learn resource or access method provides the same level of learner reporting.
If your program requires participation, completion, or other learner data, discuss those needs with the PPN Education team before training begins. Early planning helps determine the appropriate course structure, enrollment method, tracking requirements, and permissions.
What Information Should I Provide?
Before contacting the PPN Education team, consider the following questions:
- Training goal: What should learners know or be able to do?
- Audience: Who will participate?
- Estimated number of learners: Approximately how many people will participate?
- Content: Will you use existing PPN Learn resources, propose new content, or use both?
- Timeline: When would you like the training to begin?
- Completion expectations: Will learners be expected to complete specific activities?
- Reporting needs: Will you need participation, completion, or other learner information?
- Program leadership: Who will coordinate the training for your organization?
- Ongoing use: Is this a one-time offering or a recurring program?
You do not need to have every detail determined before reaching out. This information simply helps the PPN Education team understand your needs and recommend an appropriate approach.
