Have a great participatory, problem-solving workshop that you’d like to offer to a geographically dispersed audience, but travel costs keep it from happening? Join LINGOs in a one-hour webinar with Anouk Janssens-Bevernage, award-winning Director of DynaMind eLearning and author of the eLearning Nomad Blog on Feb 4.  Anouk will provide LINGOs Members an overview of how to approach the conversion of a participatory face-to-face workshop into an online equivalent, without the challenges of webinars, the critical success factors, and the kind of results that are possible.

LINGOs invites DynaMind eLearning’s Anouk Janssens-Bevernage to lead a one hour thought leadership webinar Thursday February 4, 2016  at 3pm Eastern US time (Friday Feb 5, 6am Brisbane time)

Objective: Provide LINGOs Members an overview of how to approach the conversion of a participatory face-to-face workshop into an online equivalent, without the challenges of webinars, the critical success factors, and the kind of results that are possible.

This workshop would be appropriate for NGO learning professionals who are eager to…

• Discover what it takes to convert participatory face to face learning program(s) to an interactive, online experience

• Explore an approach to adapting face to face learning to a geographically spread audience, that maintains participation and collaboration
• Explore how to support online learning beyond concept mastery, where participants’ own experiences need to be inherently part of the learning process
• Contemplate participating in an eWorkshop

Participants will be able to

• Have a framework to think through when strategizing the online support of participatory learning for a globally diverse audience.
• Differentiate between types of content/learning objectives that might be appropriate for an eWorkshop vs an eLearning module or a webinar
• Participating LINGOs member organizations may access one 25% discount to one of two DynaMind’s ‘eFacilitation workshop’ in 2016. This means a fee of USD 450 instead of the full fee of USD 600 for participation in any of the two following eFacilitation workshops (space is limited, discounted registrations will be awarded based on the order of application):
  • §  March 7 – April 8, l 2016 or
  • §   May 30 –  July 1,  2016 

The eFacilitation workshop aims at training e-facilitators and is the best way to experience the eWorkshop model (and decide whether it is indeed a good fit for your own programs). For workshop details, please see DynaMind website: http://dynamind-elearning.com/trainingandmentoring-2/

About the Presenter

Anouk Janssens-Bevernage

Anouk Janssens-Bevernage, award-winning Director of DynaMind eLearning and author of the eLearning Nomad Blog , worked with UN organisations and NGOs for almost 16 years before co-founding DynaMind eLearning in 2006.

Her mission is to ensure that e-learning respects adult learning principles.  The challenging topics that the development sector typically addresses underscore the importance of a strong human touch in training. The typical approaches of the corporate and higher education sectors don’t work for our sector.  Anouk and DynaMind eLearning created a model of eWorkshops that both emulates the collaborative problem solving experiences of participatory face to face workshops and leverages technology to enable NGOs to cost-effectively deliver the learning experience to participants around the world.

Anouk and Dynamynd have earned 2014 Gold LearnX Asia Pacific Impact Award for Best eLearning Model and the 2015 Award for Best Online Facilitator for her work in training e-facilitators and Moodle eWorkshop designers worldwide. She runs 6 online training workshops every year for NGOs who are implementing eWorkshops as part of their capacity building programs (staff and target groups).

Anouk holds Masters Degrees in both Economic Sciences and Business Administration in her native Belgium. As her career interests evolved toward adult education and e-learning, she obtained tertiary qualifications in these fields from universities in South Africa and the UK. She currently lives on the Australian Sunshine Coast.
