Web 2.0 Learning Opportunity: A trainer's overview

It is the last day of the Web 2.0 Learning Opportunity training at the University of Mauritius. Someone has  said that all good things have an end. But when they end, like the wheel that is rolling, there is a new start. A new cycle begins.

As trainer and administrator of MAISNET I have been a privileged position to witness the unfolding of this capacity building programme. The participants have been very active and have been bombarding trainers with questions and have been requesting additional tips all the time.

The democracy wall, has seen the number of suggestions drop down drastically (yesterday their were only 3), meaning that we have been able to take on board suggestions so that focus of participants remains on the training, and indeed they have been successfully completing their assignments. A list of the blogs they have created in the short time that they have been here is listed below so that our readers can have a taste of their achievements, their potential and the opportunity that Web 2.0 provides.

But does that mean that the training has been a success? Is success judged by leaving the training with a certificate? As a trainer, I believe that success depends on change after training. On the impact in the daily life - personal, community or institutions we belong to. On the improvement in communication. In the manner we will be managing Information, Communication and Knowledge tomorrow.

So I hope that our participants will be able to contribute and bring positive changes within their communities and institutions. But at the same time, I hope that they will also be given the opportunity to express themselves.

Like the Director General of FARC has said in his speech at the opening ceremony, MAISNET is a concrete example of national and regional collaboration and we hope that the participants will find our activities and engagement in the agricultural sector appealing and join us for a common cause.

Enjoy the blogs for the time being.
Pictures and videos of the training will be be posted on our platforms at a later stage.

  1. Agree with the post, as participants we should be able to apply what we have learnt during the workshop in our daily life..We should be able to sensitize colleagues and friends to use the web 2.0 tools...
