Facilitating mutual learning
Sharing of experiences and learning materials:
training manuals
evaluations
tools
case studies
etc.
Collaboration on future learning and materials
A virtual learning platform
Challenging conditions in a distributed or so-called
virtual learning environment
The technical platform provides only a framework
The communication among the users provide the learning
Everyday use shapes the learning platform
Everybody contributes to the good practices in the network
Facilitating mutual learning
Such as documented models and approaches, relevant methodologies, tools and manuals:
Identified best practices, significant change/impact stories, and useful planning, monitoring and evaluation
For example: Training manuals referred to include CEOSS’ manual for civic education,
ELCT Advocacy Desk’ training manual for advocacy regarding gender and violence
SUPOTH’s manual for SHGs.
Sharing of experiences
PODIO provides workspaces for projects and teams
Access across organisations – in the so-called cloud
Specific workspaces for subgroups and tasks
Learning by doing as we go along
Good practices evolve during use of platform
In the future: Collaboration
Requires access to the internet
Easy access across devices: PC, tablets, smartphones, etc.
Cloud-based platforms
PC/websites: Static documents Overflowing inbox Poor interactivity
In the cloud: Shared documents Twitter/Facebook/Skype Collaboration
