ALIVE\u2019s Background and Objectives<\/h2>\n

ALIVE is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to preventing suicides and promoting well-being in youths. We provide mental health programs to young people via schools, sporting clubs, and organizations with a youth culture, as well as families and young individuals (10-30 years old).<\/p>\n

Our programs are developed to address key issues facing young people, including mental health crises, stress, anxiety, bullying, and healthy boundaries around social media and the use of technology.<\/p>\n

We have always wanted to get our programs online to make training more accessible to the people we endeavor to support. The online format would not only make our training cost effective, but also allow us to reach a wider market and make the program global. That\u2019s how we found iSpring two years ago.<\/p>\n

Training over 78,000 Young People, Parents, and Teachers with the Blended Learning Approach:<\/h2>\n

At that time, we were using a blended approach to training, combining in-class activities with learning on the platform. With the iSpring Suite<\/a> authoring toolkit, we transformed most of our learning materials: presentations, worksheets, and e-books into an online-friendly format.<\/p>\n

Then we uploaded these materials and a series of videos to the iSpring LMS<\/a> platform, where all participants could easily access the program.<\/p>\n

We had a special delivery team that would attend schools and sporting clubs to give in-person sessions and workshops. They would to a facility, give a live presentation, run different activities and games, give out printed worksheets, instruct teachers, etc.<\/p>\n

At the same time, all the presentations, worksheets, and videos were available on the portal, so learners, teachers, and coaches could easily access them 24\/7 on iSpring LMS.<\/p>\n

In 2019, we supported over 65,000 students in 62 schools and 350 sporting clubs across Australia, as well as over 500 families and individuals.<\/p>\n

The Challenge: Going Online with the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/h2>\n

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we had to switch to the online-only format of training, which was quite a challenge for us for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n
