LINGOs (Learning for International NGOs) and NPOKI (NonProfit Organizations Knowledge Initiative) are co-hosting a two-day meeting to focus on major innovations in learning across the international NGO sector. These meetings will contain two thought-provoking key note presentations that will lead into practical solutions from a variety of international NGOs. The two keynotes will be as follows:
Technology Assisted Learning: a keynote from Clive Shepherd from Fastrak Consulting. Clive is a consultant specializing in e-learning, blended learning and communications. He works with a broad range of public and private sector organizations, helping them to effectively harness the benefits of technology for workplace learning.
