Outcome
Participants will gain a comprehensive overview of the Toolkit capabilities and functions including freely available resources on the internet. Participants will also gain hands-on knowledge on how to create, manage and maintain the website with little or no IT knowledge.
Participants will be introduced to WebGIS using the Toolkit's GIS module including how it can be used to access data from other GIS map servers on the internet.
IW:LEARN will have a better understanding of project needs and develop a joint work plan to address these needs in reasonable work time.
Sponsorship for Air tickets
In addition to covering the cost of hotel accommodation, meals and transfers to and from the airport, IW:LEARN will sponsor air travel (economy airfare) for one project member to attend the workshop subject to the following conditions:
1. Sponsorship is provided to projects that intend or are committed to using the IW:LEARN Toolkit to create and manage a project website.
2. Prior to the workshop, participants will collate basic content (partner information, logos etc) for adding to the project website during the workshop.
3. By the end of the workshop, a timetable for completing the project website and officially launching it will be established.
