The video lessons — pre­sented in English with Spanish and Italian sub­ti­tles — are saved in the user’s dash­board where they can be watched, paused and resumed at any time.

Interactive webi­nars include the deliv­ery of sam­ples and tast­ing glasses in advance of live meet­ings with guided tast­ings and instruc­tion.

The plat­form was cre­ated to pro­vide dis­tance learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for pro­duc­ers, importers and dis­trib­u­tors, retail­ers, food­ser­vice pro­fes­sion­als and any­one who wants to learn more about olive oil.

While the course offer­ings in the ini­tial release of the plat­form are lim­ited, any­one with exper­tise in olive oil can apply to be an instruc­tor, and the cat­a­log of courses will be con­tin­u­ously expanded.

Registered users are noti­fied when new course offer­ings are added.

Registration for the Education Lab’s in-per­son pro­grams, which were sus­pended due to the Covid-19 pan­demic, will also be avail­able on the por­tal when they resume.

More infor­ma­tion is avail­able on the Education Lab web­site.
