Introduction to E-learning Methodologies

, / por

FAO recently published it’s «E-Learning Methodologies» publication which serves as a guide for designing and developing e-learning courses. More and more it becomes important to focus beyond the mere technological side and understand the importance of instructional design and related processes that are crucial when you want to start with e-learning. The current e-learning debate is still heavily dominated by the choice of tools and technologies.This guide is a good counter recipe that shows you from the methodological side how to go about designing an e-learning course, how to create interactive content and how to manage and evaluate your e-learning activities. Recommended for everybody who is about to start with e-learning in his or her institution. Not only a good overview of the entire instructional cycle but also practical models for content creation, delivery and evaluation. One remaining question: «When is FAO launching an interactive e-learning module about the content which is available in this guide»?

OHCHR initiated in collaboration with ITC-ILO a coordinated knowledge management approach with the goal of making OHCHR work more effective in the fulfillment of its mandate. Based on a KM needs assessment and a review of KM approaches and practices of UN agencies ITC-ILO developed a knowledge sharing toolkit which includes methods and techniques to enhance knowledge sharing within OHCHR and through OHCHR activities. The entire project was called Share, Learn and Innovate and focused on the following objectives:

  • Improve understanding of knowledge management and knowledge sharing concepts and their relevance to OHCHR work;
  • Enhance participants’ expertise and capacity to use knowledge sharing tools and approaches in their work;
  • Strengthen a knowledge sharing culture within OHCHR; and
  • Validate the OHCHR Knowledge Sharing Toolkit and promote the use of the toolkit within their sections/field presences.
