JICA-Net Seminar Learning Program Given at TDLC
GDLN, JICA-Net Cooperation Agreement Facilitates Program Sharing
A JICA-Net Seminar sponsored by JICA Tokyo was held on January 30,2006 connecting JICA Tokyo with JICA Headquarters and the TDLC. The seminar, titled "Introducing the Active Learning Method for Better Training Programs - What is the key to learning for personal development?" is part of a program sharing effort between the GDLN and JICA-Net envisioned in the cooperation agreement signed between the two networks in November 2004.
The seminar aimed to introduce "active learning" to participants, a principle gaining attention in training and e-learning circles. About 50 practitioners from JICA and other educational and training institutions joined the workshop via video conference, incorporating interactive lessons given by Active Learning Co. President Takuya Hane.
Participants showed great interest in teaching and learning methodologies proposed by Mr. Hane, and expressed their desire to implement them in their own training programs.
The TDLC will assist partners raise the effectiveness of their programs by providing instructional design and other technological advice.
