Biogaia academy – a recipe for supporting and developing a global network of opinion leaders
With the assistance of Aleido Learning, Sweden-based Totara platinum-partner, BioGaia decided to go for a bespoke blended learning program implementing Totara Learn as the technical foundation.
BioGaia is an innovative Swedish healthcare company and has been a world leader in food supplements with probiotics for more than 30 years.
Over the years BioGaia has created worldwide networks of leading independent researchers and specialists, manufacturing experts and local distribution partners. BioGaia’s products are recommended by paediatricians and other healthcare professionals from over 100 countries.
THE CHALLENGE
BioGaia’s successful business model focuses on long-term relationships in three external networks – research, production, and distribution.
Within the research network, BioGaia collaborates with some 50 research institutes and clinics worldwide. In this network there are many opinion leaders, and the challenge was to find a way to grow and develop the network. To create a global, online learning community where medical experts can share knowledge, support, and communicate with the participants of the community.
THE SOLUTION
The “BioGaia Academy” includes a blended learning program, social learning, peer-to-peer assessments, and dialogue, supported by medical experts. The experts participate in videos and webinars, in communication forums and assess the participants.

The expert programs include the topics of Pediatrics and Oral health. Potential participants are nominated by BioGaia’s partners and carefully selected. The target group are health professionals with long work experience who want to be part of BioGaia’s medical community and improve their competence. The programs are a mix of mandatory learning with assignments and webinars as well as several optional learning resources.
Assignments are supported by the Forum features in Totara Learn, where each participant is asked to provide their own reflections after having studied research articles, as well as commenting on their co-participants’ feedback.
