Lessons and Observations

Identified gaps

Potentially:
1. Lack of certification or assessment: No formal completion certificate, exams, or credentialing to validate learning or incentivize engagement.
2. No user analytics shared: There's no publicly available data on completion rates, user demographics, or geographic reach.
3. Minimal interactivity: Content appears mostly static (text and video), lacking interactive simulations, case scenarios, or adaptive learning paths.
4. No real-time feedback or discussion features: Absence of live sessions, forums, or mentorship—limiting peer-to-peer learning or expert Q&A.
5. Limited localization guidance: While presenting the Swedish model, the course does not offer frameworks for adaptation to other national or regional AMR contexts.
6. Not designed for broader public health audiences: The content is geared toward professionals; it doesn’t address broader groups like community health workers or the general public.

Lessons learned

1. Simple digital tools can effectively share national models globally if well-designed and trusted.
2. Real-world case studies (like STRAMA) are valuable for policy learning and stewardship benchmarking.
3. Accessible, self-paced formats remove participation barriers—but must be supplemented with interactivity for deeper impact.
4. Global users require contextualization: What works in Sweden may need adaptation elsewhere.
5. Multi-stakeholder education efforts benefit from layered approaches—adding certification, forums, and translation can broaden impact.

Identified biases

1. Self-selection bias: Enrollment and completion are voluntary, attracting primarily those already interested in antibiotic stewardship, potentially excluding less engaged professionals.
2. Digital access bias: Reliant on stable internet and device access, which may disadvantage users in low- and middle-income countries or under-resourced settings.
3. Professional bias: Tailored to healthcare professionals and policy-makers, potentially overlooking perspectives of patients, community health workers, or lay audiences.
4. Content relevance bias: Based on Sweden’s healthcare context and AMR strategies, which may not fully align with local practices or resource constraints elsewhere.

Identified Weaknesses

1. Needs credentials to get access.
2. No formal certification or structured learner assessment
3. Less effective for visual or gamified learning preferences
4. No certification or assessment: Limits motivation, recognition, and academic value.
5. Limited interactivity: Lacks quizzes, scenarios, or learner feedback mechanisms. (TBC)
6. Not localized: Swedish context may not be fully applicable in other countries without guidance.(TBC)
7. Single-language offering: Only available in English, which reduces accessibility for non-English speakers.(TBC)
8. No discussion or peer learning component: Misses opportunities for community engagement or collaborative learning.(TBC)

Identified Strengths

1. Globally accessible, free and evidence-based
2. Offers a clear view of Sweden’s AMR model
3. Easy to integrate in academic or public health training
4. Clear introduction to the STRAMA model: Helps international users understand coordinated national efforts.
5. Credibility: Backed by a well-established national authority (STRAMA, PHAS).
6. High-quality, evidence-based content: Reflects Sweden’s successful AMR and stewardship strategies.
7. User-friendly structure: Organized in thematic modules suitable for self-paced learning.
