Training Modality |
This six-month to one-year workshop incorporates hands-on training, distance learning, and
computer-based testing. Participants may visit the U.S. WiderNet
Program office depending on the needs and wants of the institution.
Training begins with an intensive one-
to two-week course by WiderNet staff, followed by months of distance
training, online assignments and hands-on technical practice. As
questions arise, answers may be sought through several avenues,
including direct email with WiderNet staff, customized CD-ROMs with over 5,000 web-based sources and
online discussion panels. The extended training model allows participants adequate time to
apply their lessons in the field to increase long-term skill
retention. |
