New Distant-Learning Course for Online Efficiency

Dr Burkhard Luber, Executive Staff of the Threshold Foundation, offers
new Tele-Teaching about Online Efficiency for international NGOs. Based
on similar On-site Trainings for NGOs by Burkhard Luber in many
countries worldwide for several years, this new course targets NGO
workers wanting to improve their Internet capacity and thereby advancing
the efficiency of their organizations. It is focused on persons already
having a basic knowledge of emailing and web surfing, who are now
wanting to get hold of more sophisticated know-how and material about
Internet-based opportunities.

Feel free to share this Tele-Teaching announcement with other
persons/organization who you think might be interested to be informed
about this course opportunity.
