Our suggestions
General recommendations
General Suggestions
- Use blendend versions
- 2 persons for live sessions
- Moodle only if it is updated, only with necessary knowledge or with a vendor
- Keep it simple
- Create knowledge hub → (yammer)
- Make colleagues aware of the e-learning opportunities and make it clear why these are important and useful for them
- Decide and do it ;)
3 possible scenarios
1. New platform (e.g. Moodle, fuse) →
2. Partner with another platform: e.g. Unicef
3. Don’t develop a platform, use existing tools
