A Virtual Learning Journey on Community Reporting Training
The Virtual Learning Bus platform, resulting from the work of the LLP project ISABEL is on line. It is an open source Virtual Learning Journey on Isabel's project results and openly available multilingual resources. This "bus" will take you on a journey around the world of Community Reporting, with carefully designed "bus stops" that are full of all the information you need to successfully run and manage your very own Community Reporter programme and /or adapting it to other kind of Web.2.0-based learning. This resource has been devised as a sustainable tool for the re-use of the ISABEL project methodology, activities and results.

This resource has been devised as a sustainable tool for the re-use of the ISABEL project methodology, activities and results. The bus will make four stops on its journey – as a trainer or educator this means you can prepare for and plan your sessions with confidence and access the resources you need for each session. You can spend as much or as little time in each of the stops as your learners need and it is conceived that Community Reporter trainees may go on several loops of the journey, as they become competent in different areas of media production.
The four stops cover the following areas:
· First Station: PRESENTATION
· Second Station: TRAINING
· Third Station: PRODUCTION
Within each station you will find a range of materials that have been tried and tested on other groups – this way, the best learning is ready to be shared by existing facilitators with you. Materials include lesson plans, outlines and graphical support materials, video and audio documentation, including video evaluations from other learners, which can be a real asset in bringing the training to life for new learners.
By January 2013, your project will be able to co-manage the platform, adding to the stations' goals, uploading materials and resources and therefore enriching the data base.
We hope you enjoy your journey on the Virtual Learning Bus
DAIN Project. An Introduction
Évaluation de la qualité de l’e-learning grâce à une communauté internationale de révision par des pairs
L’analyse détaillée réalisée montre qu’en général, les organisations spécialisées dans le renforcement des capacités sont très soucieuses d’obtenir un label de qualité. Elles sont particulièrement intéressées par un outil qui permettrait d’évaluer et d’améliorer l’efficacité de leurs actions, afin de les aider à garantir le succès des programmes d’e-learning et de faciliter les comparaisons avec d’autres organisations.
L’analyse présentée dans cet article montre également que les organisations envisagent de façon différente le recours à la formation en ligne pour leurs activités de renforcement des capacités. Pour tenir compte de ces différences, un label avec deux options a été prévu : l’une pour les programmes individuels et une autre pour les institutions.
