WFH eLearning Platform - eLearning Modules

eLearning Programs

Each WFH eLearning Program consists of a series of educational modules designed for individual self-directed or small-group learning. Educational content about hemophilia and other bleeding disorders is brought to life with detailed colour illustrations, interactive features, a glossary of terms, and linked resources for further reading. There are even quizzes, and progress checks so that you can evaluate whether you have fully understood the content. You can work through an entire module or look up sections of particular interest in the interactive table of contents.
