Good Practices in E-learning in Water Sector Capacity Development: Examples from UN-Water

Session: Thursday, May 30th, 16:30

“Good Practices in E-learning in Water Sector Capacity Development”The water sector is knowledge intensive. Improving the means for spreading knowledge in order to e� ectively reach a wider audience is important if people are to face various water-related challenges, including new challenges such as climate change and green growth.

For international organizations and UN institutions engaged in capacity development, e-learning represents an opportunity to reach a large number of widespread learners. E-learning is becoming more and more globally accessible, alongside the proliferation of communication technologies.

This session aims to share good practices in e-learning in water sector capacity development, especially as already used and displayed by members and partners engaged in the UN-Water mechanism. Good practice usually combines interactive learning content and possibilities of experience sharing between learners in virtual learning environments or complementary face-to-face events.
