Mission of the Electronic Village Online

The EVO is a creation of TESOL's CALL Interest Section. In this age of electronic communication it seems a natural way to bring the issues of our profession to the international stage. Our goal is to allow learning anywhere, anytime, with as little expense as possible. Thus EVO moderators and trainers are all volunteers, and participants need only provide their own Internet access to take part in activities. Your contribution as a Moderator is a significant act of volunteerism, and forms an important service to our profession. We on the Coordination Team also hope it will be a valuable professional development experience for you.

For a brief description of the Electronic Village online, see What is EVO?

For more on the history of the EVO, including brief descriptions of offerings in 2004, see the article by Hanson-Smith & Bauer-Ramazani (2004).

For descriptions of sessions from 2001-2010, see http://evosessions.pbworks.com/EVO+Previous+Sessions

(Remember that sessions from earlier years may not all be in continuing existence. Many of these sessions were longer than those for 2012.)

The Training Session: Oct 24 - Nov 20, 2011

The 4-week training session is designed to give you and your participants the best possible experience with online learning in our short, 5-week session, January-Februrary 2011. Even if you have run an online course before, you will need to adapt to the unique, all-voluntary nature of EVO. Your active participation in the training weeks is also necessary to help you prepare your Website and online materials appropriate to volunteer participants.
