Motivation degree for e-learning: case studies of the ITQANE et CITI projects HassaneDarhmaoui Coordinator of the Center for Learning Technologies Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane
Who is doing this? • Ministry of National Education represented by the Distance Education division (National Center for Innovative Pedagogy and Experimentation ) • Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane • ITQANE Project/U.S. Agency for International Development –USAID
Why are we invested in E-learning? Problem: Teachers have limited access to quality training. Response: Distance education materials allow us to experiment with an alternative delivery system that reaches teachers where they work and live.
Input and Results Two-fold approach : 1) Train Ministry personnel to produce e-learning training materials through a ‘learning by doing’ approach. 2) Create a cadre of distance education experts within the teacher training system who will be able to transform current and future teacher training programs into distance learning courses. Results: • Ministry staff representing twelve of Morocco’s Regional Teacher Training Institutes trained. • Ministry staff coached to develop eight teacher training courses. • E-learning courses tested with 556 student teachers in 10 Teacher Training Institutes .
Training Methodology • The training program covered the following main components: • Introduction and level upgrade (3-day workshop) • Instructional design (3-day workshop) • Instructional technology (3-day workshop) • Best practices workshops (Two 2-day workshops) • Individual and sub-groups projects • Informal sub-groups meetings • Continuous online training and mentoring • E-learning forum (best projects rewarded)
