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. |
