[Siwa] UNITAR/FAO online tutored course on social media is launched

Dear all,

I wanted to let you know that FAO and UNITAR will be jointly delivering an online course entitled: “Innovative Collaboration for Development” which covers social media tools, social networking, collaboration and knowledge exchange.

The course will focus on training development professionals to realise the potential of social media tools to enhance the efficiency of their work, increase their organizations’ outreach, and contribute to the effectiveness of their work.

The UNITAR/FAO interactive tutor-facilitated online course will be certified using internationally recognized quality standards schemes, and will be based on  the  self-paced e-learning materials developed by FAO and partners as part of the Information Management Resource Kit.

I am writing to ask you to please help us promote this course and spread the word as widely as possible.

We will be running the first session of the course from 13 September to 12 November  and we opened the registrations this week.

All info available on http://www.unitar.org/e-learning-course-social-media-tools , including access to online registration.

Warm regards!

Sophie Treinen
