Dear <huridocs-tech> members, HREA is currently exploring distance learning courses via the Internet. We have already started developing on-line, self-directed modules on major human rights topics and themes. In addition, we intend to offer short and specialised distance learning courses for human rights and NGO staff (asynchronous learning, mostly based on direct instructor-learner communication and on-line working groups via e-mail). Both initiatives will be part of our on-line Human Rights Learning Centre, which will inaugurated next year. In order to have a better understanding of the needs in the field we are administering the survey below. I would very much appreciate it when you take a few minutes to answer the questions below. Your can simply hit the "reply" button in your e-mail client and answer the questions. You can also fill out the on-line form at <http://www.hrea.org/de-survey.html>. Thank you in advance and best wishes, Frank Elbers ------------------------ SURVEY OF DISTANCE LEARNING INTEREST Human Rights Education Associates (HREA), an international non-profit organisation promoting education and training in the human rights field (http://www.hrea.org), is initiating a number of distance learning courses via e-mail/Internet. These short courses are intended for practicing managers and specialists in the human rights/international development/civil society fields. The courses currently envisioned would cover organisational management issues and topics specific to human rights and development. The courses will take place through Internet correspondence, reading and group assignments, and require approximately 60 hours over three months. They will be lead by experienced specialists in the field. These non-accredited courses will initially be offered free of charge.
