    This course was primarily designed as a method of training volunteers about Ebola before they take volunteer trips. The course consisted of a slideshow and a quiz. The presentation was 82 slides and a compilation of several separate slide decks. The content was easily understood and simplified, but the delivery method was lacking. As a training method, it was put together very well. As an educational course, it had the potential to improve. Note: this course had the same materials as the Ebola: GO 2.0 course by OpenWHO.
