E-Learning for Integrated Watershed Management
The project
E-Learning for Integrated Watershed Management is
funded by the German Academic Exchange Agency (DAAD)
and will run from 2008 to 2010. It aims at
introducing e-learning into the teaching and
learning practices in Eastern African universities
in the area of Watershed Management.
The project consists of a series of expert workshops
which aim to build up expertise in the development,
execution and quality assurance of e-learning on the
subject of IWM. A total of 4 consecutive expert
workshops will take place between 2008 and 2010 -
all on the specific task of development and
implementation of e-learning for higher education.
In addition, two further workshops on the theme
"Building Community and Content Sharing" will help
to establish the virtual "East African Watershed
Management Forum".
The series of workshops takes an action oriented
approach. Although each workshop will have a focus
topic of practical and strategic importance, at the
same time each workshop will enable the participants
to develop a practical e-learning concept for their
own professional practice. It is an important
principle to be able to directly start with
practical experiences using e-learning for the own
professional practice in order to guarantee a long
term competence development process. In between the
workshops the work on the topics will continue
online.
The overall workshop themes address all issues which
are important for e-learning in higher education:
-
Workshop 1: Introduction to
E-Learning and Development of materials for
e-learning
-
Workshop 2: Effective
Implementation of e-learning
-
Workshop 3: Quality assurance and
sustainable anchor
-
Workshop 4: Transfer, strategy
and organizational anchorage
In addition to the
workshops there will be working groups installed.
These long-term working groups work on various
issues of importance and will collaborate in fora
and virtual environments.
