Accessibility, multilingualism and real-time knowledge transfer are the tenets of the OpenWHO learning platform. A descriptive analysis was conducted using anonymised statistical datasets retrieved from the OpenWHO reporting system to understand global use trends. When examining OpenWHO use in the areas with the highest burden of COVID-19 cases, a strong correlation was identified between the burden of COVID-19 and OpenWHO user activity. Further, health professionals are the top users of COVID-19 materials. The massive demand for OpenWHO courses confirms the need for real-time learning materials in accessible, multilingual formats during a pandemic. Learning is a global public good and is an essential component of the response to health emergencies.

ABSTRAK Dengan luas konsesi sebesar 118.400 hektar dan memperkerjakan hingga lebih dari 21.694 karyawan dan mitra kerja, pengelolaan operasional dan keselamatan, kesehatan kerja, dan lingkungan (K3L) adalah hal yang harus diperhatikan. Tantangan yang harus dihadapi PT Berau Coal adalah lokasi yang tersebar di 4 (empat) wilayah operasional terpisah: Lati, Binungan, Sambarata, dan Marine. Selain itu, karyawan juga tidak memiliki banyak waktu untuk mengakses informasi, karena sebagian besar waktunya dihabiskan untuk bekerja dengan minimal waktu kerja 8 (delapan) jam perhari. Dengan latar belakang berbagai tingkat pendidikan, mulai dari SD hingga perguruan tinggi, juga menjadi tantangan tersendiri. Disamping itu, berdasarkan data, mayoritas karyawan PT Berau Coal dan mitra kerja berada pada rentang umur 24-40 tahun yang dapat dikategorikan sebagai generasi melek teknologi. PT Berau Coal telah membangun sebuah platform pembelajaran bernama SINTESIS+ (Sistem Informasi Pelatihan dan Edukasi yang Sinergis) dan SID (Single Identity System). SINTESIS+ dan SID memiliki tujuan, antara lain (1) sebagai platform pembelajaran dan informasi terkait dengan operasional dan K3L, (2) meningkatkan kapasitas dan membangun kompetensi karyawan terkait operasional dan K3L, terutama peran pengawas sebagai posisi kunci dalam program pengawasan keselamatan, (3) meningkatkan kontrol operasional terhadap kompetensi karyawan yang terkait dengan ijin masuk, ijin kerja, lisensi, serta spesialisasi, serta (4) mengintervensi perilaku untuk mewujudkan safety culture di karyawan internal dan mitra kerja. Fitur dan konten yang dimiliki SINTESIS+ saat ini adalah online learning dengan konten pembelajaran multimedia, online testing dengan hasil yang real time, sertifikat yang otomatis muncul setelah pengguna lulus dalam online testing, webinar, berita insiden dan operasional pertambangan, repositori untuk portofolio kerja, sistem registrasi event dan pelatihan, terintegrasi dengan SID terkait perekaman data dan kontrol kompetensi karyawan dari segi operasional, baik itu ijin kerja, ijin masuk, lisensi, dan spesialisasi, serta proses yang dapat meningkatkan awareness terhadap K3L secara kontinyu. Sejak peluncurannya, SINTESIS+ telah diakses oleh lebih dari 7867 karyawan, menguji pengetahuan untuk lebih dari 1024 ujian, menyelenggarakan webinar yang diikuti oleh 330 karyawan, serta menjalankan proses yang lebih efektif dan efisien, mulai dari pendaftaran hingga evaluasi. Dampak dari segi operasional atas integrasinya dengan sistem SID adalah meningkatnya compliance level terhadap pemenuhan kompetensi karyawan menjadi sebesar 98% dan proses pemantauan menjadi lebih efisien. Dengan peningkatan tersebut, selain kompetensi karyawan yang meningkat, kontrol terhadap operasional juga menjadi semakin baik, kesadaran terhadap K3L meningkat, dan dengan harapan tingkat insiden dapat menurun. Kedepannya, untuk meningkatkan akses dan safety culture, PT Berau Coal sedang membangun platform mobile apps untuk SINTESIS+. Kata kunci: keselamatan, operasional, pelatihan, platform, teknologi, kompetensi, kontrol   ABSTRACT With 118.400 hectare of concession area and employed people for more than 21.694 employees within company and from business partners, Berau Coal needs to put more concern in managing operational and health, safety and environment (SHE). The challenges that need to be faced are location that scattered into 4 operational areas, limited time for employees to access information because most of time exploited for working, various educational background, and technology literacy. Berau Coal has been developed a learning platform, named SINTESIS+ and SID. The aims in development of those platforms are; (1) as a operational and HSE-themed learning platform, (2) to increase capacity and to build HSE and operational competencies, (3) to increase operational control for competencies related to entry permit, work permit, license, and specialization, and (4) to intervene employees’ behaviour to build safety culture. Features and contents that has been embedded in SINTESIS+ are online learning with multimedia materials, online testing with real time result, webinar, incident and mining operational news, repositories for employees’ portfolio, event and training registration, integrated with SID to record employees’ historical competency-related data, and sustainable process to increase HSE awareness. Since its launching, SINTESIS+ has been accessed by 7867 employees, tested for 1024 exams, conducted webinar that participated by 330 employees, and run more effective and efficient processes. Impacts from integration process with SID are the increase of compliance level for competencies to 98% and the increase of process control efficiency. With those increments, beside the employees’ competency and HSE awareness is increased, hoped to lower incident rate. In the future, to improve access to the platform, Berau Coal is willing to develop mobile apps for SINTESIS+. Keywords: safety, operational, training, platform, technology, competency, control

Abstract With the continuous development of the economy, science and technology have achieved unprecedented development along with the improvement of the economy. The first thing to bear is the continuous popularization and application of the Internet, which drives the development of Internet technology. Many online learning platforms currently used by universities only focus on the teacher system and teaching system. Compared with other subjects, there are fewer learning materials on the Internet for gymnastics teaching, and the lack of systematic teaching is the primary problem that most schools need to overcome. The current method of online learning has changed the relatively scarce phenomenon of resources in face-to-face teaching in the past, and has excellent improvements in the organization and improvement of resources. By constructing the framework of a professional teaching resource library, collecting and properly sorting out learning materials, and at the same time designing and producing network multimedia courseware to facilitate the learning of scholars. Network teaching technology is realized by the combination of Internet and multimedia equipment. This technology can not only give play to the advantages of computers in network data transmission, but also embody a new teaching model with teachers and students as the main body. Therefore, adjusting teaching methods, building a better learning space, and using CAI courseware learning resources connected by campus network is an important way for students to make compensatory learning, and it is also the main direction for scientific and technological progress in gymnastics teaching. The experimental results prove that the online multimedia learning platform can provide students with more gymnastics learning resources, increase students' interest and time in learning; it can effectively improve the teaching quality of teachers, and use the convenient interactivity of the network to realize a resource library The rapid update of the content enables the teaching content to keep up with the needs and pace of the development of the times.
