ITQANE e-learning project 2011 -2013

Who is doing this? - Ministry of National Education represented by the Distance Education division (National Center for Innovative Pedagogy and Experimentation ) - Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane - ITQANE Project/U. S. Agency for International Development –USAID

Why are we invested in E-learning? Problem: Teachers have limited access to quality training. Response: Distance education materials allow us to experiment with an alternative delivery system that reaches teachers where they work and live.

Input and Results Two-fold approach : 1) Train Ministry personnel to produce e-learning training materials through a ‘learning by doing’ approach. 2) Create a cadre of distance education experts within the teacher training system who will be able to transform current and future teacher training programs into distance learning courses. Results: ØMinistry staff representing twelve of Morocco’s Regional Teacher Training Institutes trained. ØMinistry staff coached to develop eight teacher training courses. ØE-learning courses tested with 556 student teachers in 10 Teacher Training Institutes.

Training Methodology The training program covered the following main components: 1. Introduction and level upgrade (3 -day workshop) 2. Instructional design (3 -day workshop) 3. Instructional technology (3 -day workshop) 4. Best practices workshops (Two 2 -day workshops) 5. Individual and sub-groups projects 6. Informal sub-groups meetings 7. Continuous online training and mentoring 8. E-learning forum (best projects rewarded)
