As CPWR transitioned to more virtual safety and health training due to COVID-19, evaluation research was conducted on the effectiveness of the safety training content and distance learning format, as well as the feasibility of integrating the distance learning format into future training efforts. Read the full report, The Use of Distance Learning in Occupational Health and Safety Training: Assessing Effectiveness and Sustainability in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic, or the executive summary for more information.

• Best Practices for Excellence in Distance Learning
• Best Practices for Using Breakout Rooms
• Online Etiquette for Trainees During Distance Learning
