Back from training
Back from the training on content development for the Open Academy at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), UP Los Baños.
The workshops consisted of developing the e-learning component of the Open Academy. The participants were divided into two groups: the content writers and the web developers. In the web developers group, we evaluated the current site, laid out the site architecture, and designed the e-learning modules. We had to come up with a unified scheme that allows for expansion, usability and accessibility. I pushed for a CSS-based and standards-compliant design, and sold the idea that this would facilitate modularity of not only the e-learning component but the whole site as well. The workshop outputs are here. We will have to wait for the go-signal to retool the whole site.
