by admin last modified 2007-03-06 17:49

The Virtual Workshop on Introduction to Communities was organised by the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) for potential and present Online Community facilitators. Facilitators for the workshop were Luca Servo of the FAO, based in Rome, and Nancy White of Full Circle Associates, based in Seattle, USA.

Twenty-six participants, drawn from all over the world, took part in the workshop. Weekly assignments included: Visiting and evaluating another network; Tool Treasure Hunt/Technology training; and Community engagement strategy – where participants could look at how to engage people in online groups, and consider the differences between face-to-face and online communities.

The workshop used the Moodle Open Source course management system to facilitate instruction and learning. Resources in the Moodle Space:

1. Community Café

3. Learning Logs
4. Case Studies Wiki
