Distance learning
Distance learning techniques strengthen the training capacities of developing countries. They are used to : Facilitate updating of pedagogical material Strengthen cooperation among training centres using the pedagogical methodology of UNCTAD Provide greater flexibility in training activities Strengthen communication among centres, countries and regional members of the network in order to maximize the impact of training activities
Strategy Our distance-learning team customizes the new information and communication technologies to the trainees' needs. It conducts training along the following lines: Development of pedagogical material adapted to a hybrid approach that combines face-to-face training activities with distance learning Evaluation of the distance-learning training networks available in partner countries, in particular in the least developed ones Review of distance-learning training activities developed and carried out by other agencies or institutions, the objective being greater cooperation between operators to maximize synergies and avoid overlap Adaptation of training methods to local realities Facilitation of local partnership agreements between operators
