Together with INWENT, Learning Visoions, the European Institut for Education, Training and Competence organises a workshop on enabling teacher to organise online courses Education and knowledge are the key factors driving national economic and social development. Broad-scale citizens’ participation in education processes is therefore crucial for sustainable poverty reduction. In the majority of developing countries, however, only a small fraction of the population has access to education and knowledge, and the educational services on offer are frequently of poor quality and hence not very effective. The problem of insufficient teaching and learning materials is compounded by a lack of qualified teaching staff. eTutoring is one crucial component which is necessary to facilitate the growth and effective spread and use of eLearning in the African context. The workshop will be organised and lead by Dr. Virginie Aimard, director of Learning Visions.
