2012 has marked a year where the VCILT has engaged into a series of Capacity-Building Workshops on Rapid e-Learning and Interactive Materials development for e-learning. The main target are educators of the primary and secondary schools who are exposed to technology in the classroom but who cannot use them in innovative and creative ways as they would have wished to for a variery of reasons.
The VCILT has been working on research and development related to pedagogical design of high quality learning environments using rapid e-learning methodology since 2009. We felt that this is the time to start disseminating the technique after its successful experimentation within the university courses and a few international consultancies.
The VCILT has been generously supported by MICROSOFT in this endeavour and more 50 educators have received a 2-day training on rapid e-learning development in March-April 2012.
The philosophy is to distribute the development of interactive learning resources among the teachers by empowering them in terms of technical skills through these capacity-building workshops to allow more resources to be developed, which are customised according to the teachers' students and their respective abilities, and to take less time in reaching a critical mass of a variety of resources than can be used, reused and shared among the practitioners.
