With CARNet on Latest Trends and Technologies in Distance Learning

We recently visited the Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNet) to exchange knowledge and experience on the latest trends and technologies in distance learning. We have been stepping our efforts to transform and complement our face-to-face learning program with distance learning activities, such as e-learning, webinars, and other learning solutions supported through the use of information technologies (IT).

As learning becomes more personalized and decentralized, we recognize a need to use the latest technologies in learning to provide learning solutions that match the needs of knowledge seekers. Sharing experience with peer institutions provides a valuable opportunity and a relevant insight into how other institutions deal with challenges and how they adapt to incorporate latest technologies. During our visit, CARNet learning experts shared their expertise and experiences in design and use of IT learning solutions, such as e-learning, MOOCs, webinars, video streaming, and multimedia.

Both CEF and CARNet are member institutions of Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) and the newly formed Global Development Learning Network Affiliates in Europe and Central Asia (GDLN ECA). GDLN is a network of knowledge-sharing institutions in the development field.

The study visit took place on December 5, 2014 in Zagreb, Croatia.
