> 
> 
> I am pleased to announce that OHPRS HP-101 Online, the web-based course on the foundations of health promotion, health promotion strategies, practices and resources is now available on the OHPRS website (<http://www.ohprs.ca/hp101>).  
> 
> This course is intended for any and all health promoters in Ontario. The OHPRS defines health promoters as those who work to promote health as defined in the Ottawa Charter (http://www.who.int/hpr/NPH/docs/ottawa_charter_hp.pdf), regardless of professional designation. It includes people, organizations, and groups from various sectors. Health promotion work may be paid or voluntary.
> 
> The free course is in a stand-alone online format to help maximize its accessibility. Recognizing that people come to work in health promotion through many and varied paths, this course will help people familiarize themselves (for the first time or as a refresher) with essential health promotion concepts, practices and resources. 
> 
> Please note that the French version of OHPRS HP-101 Online is in development and expected to be available in February 2005.
> The course is structured in 9 modules and arranged into 3 sections. Each module presents learning objectives, specified course content, and includes reflective exercises, readings and resources.
> Section A: Foundations of Health Promotion (Modules 1-4) covers 
> *     Definitions and Concepts, 
> *     Milestones, 
> *     Models of Health and Health Promotion, and
> *     Theories. 
> 
> Section B: Health Promotion in Action (Modules 5-7) addresses
> *     Strategies, 
> *     Features, and 
> *     Values.
> 
> Section C: Building Your Health Promotion Practice (Modules 8-9) builds on the previous modules to explore 
> *     Current Practice, and 
> *     Future Considerations
> 
> The goals of the course include identifying what is new and unique to health promotion; orienting learners to health promotion resources, including OHPRS members> '>  services, as well as material resources; encouraging networking in the health promotion community; and serving as a model and platform for other modules.
> 
> I would like to acknowledge the hard work of the HP101 working group, the curriculum designers, course writers, on-line learning experts, web designers, all the pilot participants, the OHPRS members who contributed case studies and other content, and the OHPRS Secretariat staff members who moved this project from concept to reality.
