E-learning

The aim of this course is to provide technical inputs to to working journalists on the usage of new ICT tools for a wider coverage of development issues in general and in particular, issues around safe reproductive health and HIV/AIDS.

This is being done in association with a learning technology provider.

This on-line learning module adheres to globally accepted learning technology standards and will be accessible to all Information and Communication Technology Capacity Building for Asia Network members through a process of on-line registration.The complete training module will be available soon.
