Dear friends,
Have you
registered<http://www.diplomacy.edu/registrations/online-learning-day>…
for next week’s
*Online Learning Day*, on 17 April? No matter where you are located, we
would like to invite you to join our morning online debate. If you are
based in Geneva, you can also come to our evening get-together at Diplo’s
office.
Online Learning Day is part of the Geneva E-diplomacy
Platform<http://www.diplomacy.edu/e-diplomacy>and aims to facilitate
an informed discussion on online learning and to
encourage an exchange of views and experience among providers of online
learning solutions.
In preparation, we invite you to try out our short
quiz<http://www.diplomacy.edu/onlinelearning-quiz>to test your
knowledge of online learning, and to complete a short online
poll <http://www.diplomacy.edu/onlinelearning-themes> to help us narrow
down the debate themes for the morning session.*
What to expect:*
The morning session (10.00 – 12.00 CET) will take place online and will
feature debates on current trends in online learning, including:
- opportunities and limitations of massive open online courses (MOOCs)
- social media tools to enrich online learning
- teaching practical topics (protocol, negotiations) effectively online
The evening session will be an informal meet-up style gathering at Diplo’s
office in Geneva (18.00 – 20.00 at 56, Rue de Lausanne), with refreshments.
Geneva-based providers of online learning will briefly present their
training programmes, and participants will have the opportunity to discuss
and ask questions in an informal setting. We will also hear directly from
participants who have attended some Geneva-based online learning courses.
This event is intended for anyone interested in online learning in the
domain of diplomacy, international relations and global policy processes.
