General Information

 

Generally speaking, e-Learning refers to the use of the internet to deliver learning or training programmes. E-Learning involves moving the learning experience out of the traditional classroom and into the learner's world. It means the participant can learn at any time, any place and without geographical or scheduling barriers. It is learning that relies on the internet for accessing learning materials and interacting with experts and fellow learners. As a participant in one of our courses, you will be able to access your course from any computer which has an internet connection (once you have a username and password from OECD/STATEC/UNITAR). E-Learning offers a unique opportunity to interact with participants across the world, creating a network of participants with similar professional interests, but with very different cultures and backgrounds.

 

Our pedagogical approach hinges on three levels of interaction. At the first level, the participant interacts with the training content. At the second level, the participant interacts with other participants to share experiences and learn in a contextual manner. At the third level, the participant interacts with senior international experts who moderate each e-Learning course for its entire duration. OECD/STATEC/UNITAR e-Learning courses thus attempt to create a networked learning environment, in which participants have the flexibility to learn at their own convenience and pace but also are able to interact with peers and experts through the discussion board facility.
