Dear friends,
Have you registered yet 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 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 to test your knowledge of online learning, and to complete a short online poll 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.
