E-Learning

JADCO does not yet have a customised

E-Learning platform, so we use our JADCO

website to direct traffic to the E-Learning

platforms offered by the World

Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) under ADeL.

WADA E-Learning Platforms

• Launched January 2018

• Users acquire a certificate

• NADOs are able to monitor

users under their jurisdiction

WADA E-Learning Platforms

• ALPHA

• COACH TRUE

• SPORT PHYSICIANS TOOL KIT

• ADO KICKSTART

• PARENTS’ GUIDE

Athletes and support personnel have 24 hour access to anti-doping information

regardless of their location

Athletes and support personnel are able to be educated at their own pace

Provides a cost saving option to educate athletes and support personnel

Athletes and support personnel can complete the E-Learning programmes based

on their own schedule

Advantages of E-Learning

Athletes and support personnel do not have the guidance of an expert to provide them

with immediate feedback

There is no way to determine if an athlete or support personnel actually completed the

work themselves

Athletes and support personnel might find it difficult to motivate themselves if it is not

mandatory

Some athletes might not be computer literate or might not have access to reliable

internet

Disadvantages of E-Learning

Monitoring and Evaluation

• E-Learning does not currently play a role

in face to face workshops

• Feedback Forms

• Impact Study

Questions

• Is there any NADO present that does not

use E-Learning?

• What other methods do you use to

educate athletes?
