Solutions d’apprentissage

Formation à distance

Le programme TrainForTrade développe en permanence de nouveaux outils d’apprentissage en explorant de nouvelles possibilités technologiques. L’expansion de la couverture 3G/4G, les téléphones cellulaires, les téléphones intelligents et les tablettes, ont rendu l’accès à l’information beaucoup plus facile. Le développement de l’apprentissage “dans les nuages” (cloud learning) et l’apprentissage mobile proposent des solutions efficaces pour le stockage, la diffusion et l’acquisition de l’information et des outils efficaces peuvent être utilisés pour promouvoir l’apprentissage interactif et collaboratif.

Le programme TrainForTrade développe des cours de haute qualité et maintient un standard élevé de diffusion en utilisant des moyens technologiques tels que l’apprentissage en ligne, l’apprentissage mobile et “dans les nuages “(cloud learning). Dans de nombreux pays en développement où les appareils portables sont souvent plus accessibles que les PC, l’apprentissage mobile peut offrir une plus grande accessibilité à la formation en ligne.

Pourquoi la formation à distance ?

La formation à distance permet aux stagiaires ainsi qu’aux formateurs plus de flexibilité dans le processus de formation. L’accès aux connaissances et à l’information se fait dans le temps et à distance utilisant les technologies. L’enseignement à distance permet aux stagiaires de :

Entreprendre une formation depuis leur domicile ou leur lieu de travail
Choisir le moment et le lieu d’apprentissage qui conviennent le mieux à leur situation
Échanger des informations et des idées avec d’autres formateurs et d’autres stagiaires indépendamment de leur localisation
Bénéficier d’un soutien continu de la part de léquipe TrainForTrade Formation à distance
Maintenir le contact avec le spécialiste du commerce international et autres institutions de formation.

Combiner la formation à distance et la formation en face à face

Le programme TrainForTrade combine les activités en face-à-face avec les cours à distance. L’expérience montre que la qualité des séminaires en face-à-face augmente (en termes de participation des stagiaires et de résultats) lorsque les stagiaires ont d’abord été familiarisés au sujet en question par un cours à distance. Le programme souligne que les aspects pédagogiques de la formation ne doivent pas être compromis par la technologie. Dans un même temps, l’utilisation des TIC comme outil de partage des connaissances augmente le nombre de bénéficiaires tout en réduisant les coûts.

L’expérience montre qu’avec des stagiaires adultes, les résultats d’apprentissage sont meilleurs dans un environnement de groupe que dans le cadre d’un apprentissage à distance uniquement. De ce fait, pendant les cours d’enseignement à distance TrainForTrade, les participants sont réunis dans une même salle entièrement équipée. Les salons de clavardage et les forums sont utilisés pour faciliter les échanges avec les instructeurs.

Dispenser une formation aux futurs tuteurs locaux

Le programme TrainForTrade met l’accent sur l’importance de développer des services locaux, destinés aux populations locales, fournis par des personnes locales. Une étape essentielle du programme TrainForTrade consiste à former des tuteurs locaux qui pourront coordonner sur place les activités de formation à distance. L’identification de centres de formation et de tuteurs est indispensable pour la diffusion d’un cours. Les formations de tuteurs techniques TrainForTrade permettent aux futurs tuteurs de s’approprier la méthodologie TrainForTrade de diffusion d’un cours et les différentes méthodes pédagogiques utilisées lors d’une formation.

Répondre aux besoins des bénéficiaires

The choice of training methods and technology will always depend on the local technical reality in the beneficiary country. The TrainForTrade programme uses Moodle Environment, a Free and Open Source Learning Management System, based on a Linux platform, in order to facilitate

Blended learning methodologies for capacity development

The use of e-learning, either on its own or in a hybrid/mixed model, has not been fully explored by United Nations (UN) Secretariat entities for delivering capacity development activities. TrainForTrade contributed to the report which assesses the current state of e-learning in the economic and social entities of the UN Secretariat and identifies best practices and lessons learned in supporting capacity development through e-learning, or mixed/hybrid methods, and for adapting face-to-face trainings to the online space.

Mr. Daniel J. Ndori

“The program is excellent and relevant to the developing nations. The participation of candidates from Maldives, Indonesia and Ghana enabled me to network and create an environment for future South-South interactions. Coming from an IT background, the use of an open-source platform (Moodle) for delivering this course has encouraged me to think and act in advising my CEO in adopting this platform since Tanzania ports has its own institution college (Bandari college) to train port and employees. UNCTAD’s support in conducting this course is very much appreciated and I will put what I have learned in practice.”

Mohamed Hashim

“This a very interesting program. It would be better if you conduct this training for certain region and invite participants of that region. Anyway this program will benefit our country very much from the knowledge we gained. It will be very easy for us to conduct distance learning program in the field of port management or other. We have learned enough to conduct a training program between the remote locations of the Maldives.”
