Description        

The EVO training session is a four-week hands-on workshop to help EVO moderators and co-moderators convert the syllabus they have proposed into interactive online sessions for the Electronic Village Online and to feel confidently prepared for their session. Each session will be assigned a mentor from the Coordination Team to provide guidance and advice as needed and to be offer a participant's-eye view of the session as it develops.

  1. Help moderators understand what EVO is and how it differs from other online courses.
  2. Provide suggestions and tips to help moderators and co-moderators develop and deliver a successful session.
