Staff Development : Training More with Less – A Model for International Development Agencies

Abstract

PCF2 // Printed course materials and student-tutor interaction in writing are the foundations upon which most distance education in the world relies. They have proved to work well. // Many research studies have confirmed that appropriate design and application of distance learning system for training has worked well in reaching more learners, imparting individualised and customised learning and at lower costs. The training initiative that the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) undertaken jointly with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) tries to emulate best practice in this regard and to build a model for wider application for international development agencies. //
