Workshop on needs assessment of e-learning in southern Africa

Environmental experts from the “Southern African Network for Training and Research on the Environment” met for a workshop on e-learning and produced a feasibility study on Internet based training in the Southern African Development Community – SADC.
Three important issues were covered in this study: production of instructional content, learner support and communication and cooperation among the learners via Internet.
