Online Learning Resources
All CGIAR Centers are active in training, education and learning and can greatly benefit from closer collaboration in several learning areas as well as in the development and dissemination of CGIAR learning resources. The Online Learning Resources project aims to make such resources (being global public goods) more easily accessible to all intended users following internationally recognized standards and procedures. This project also aims at creating a CGIAR training community of practice that works closely together for the benefit of an international learning community interested in agriculture and natural resources management.
Objectives
To
develop a CGIAR ‘Online Learning Resources’ center that will allow an
international capacity strengthening community of practice, interested in
agriculture and natural resources management in the tropics, to enhance
the quality of their teaching and learning, and to promote inter-Center
collaboration in training, education and learning resources development
and dissemination. More specifically, this will be achieved by:
| • | Contributing to the transfer of international public goods, knowledge and technologies produced by the CGIAR Centers and their collaborating partners in agriculture and natural resources management. |
| • | Developing learning resources and materials that reflect current knowledge and recent advances in agriculture and natural resources management, within the context of training and education in these fields. |
| • | Providing a coherent, harmonized platform and approach for sharing these learning resources among Centers and partners. |
| • | Strengthening the capacity of national program partners to deliver agriculture and natural resources management training and education and to contribute to a centralized learning resources center. |
