The SADC in collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture (FoA) of the University of Mauritius (UoM) and the Food and Agricultural Research Council (FARC) will be running a two days training sessions on Web 2.0 Collaborative Tools for Agricultural Information Management on the 8th and 9th July 2010.The FoA has opened the training sessions to other agricultural institutions.
While this will be the start of a capacity building process in Web 2.0 technologies, it is also being expected that agricultural institutions in Mauritius will appreciate the effectiveness of such tools and adopt them strategically for the benefit of their own organisation and their stakeholders. Indeed, Web 2.0 Collaborative Tools offer numerous possibilities in areas such as media management, learning management, document editing/peer reviewing and social networking.
One tool that is still underexploited in Mauritius, and completely overlooked in the agricultural sector, is the use of RSS. Institutions will therefore be having a golden opportunity to rethink their communication strategy.
Hello Sanjay
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your active participation in mounting this website for the WEB 2.0 tools training workshop. I appreciated your committment and urge to share your knowledge in ICT tools. Many participants were really stunned by the vast array of ICT tools (free)that could render life easy. I wish you plenty of success to drive the institutions into using RSS feeds.
Well Done my friend
Thank you Kamlesh.
