Web 2.0 Technologies

Currently I am in Entebbe Uganda attending a Web 2.0 Workshop. The workshop started today and is progressing on well. We have participants from different parts of Eastern and Southern Africa. So far the presentations are very punchy and informative. We are learnt quite a bit on web 2.0 tools and how they relate to e-content development. My only fear is the applicability of the knowlege and skills we are gaining considering the personal and institutions limitations that we face in our places of work. But otherwise the course is quite relevant and timely and more people need to be trained.

    This is the second day of Web 2.0 Training. So far it has been an enriching experince. Within 3 months on completion of this training, I undertake to develop and post at least one of my teaching courses.

    To overcome the challenges identified by participants , I intend to start small and grow bigger. It will require a change of attitude and a lot of commitment on my part. A lot of practice and patience will also come in handy. I hope others will appreciate my effots.

    AICM 716- Agricultural Knowledge Management.

    I have now embarked on developing E-content for AICM 716. The content will be available shortly on a link that I will guide you to. AICM 716 is one of the courses offered to MSc. Agricultural Information and Communication Management students.The broad aim of the course is to strengthen capacity in key aspects of agricultural knowledge management so as to realize effective creation, storage, updating, retrieval, dissemination, sharing and utilization of knowledge for sustainable agricultural development., sharing and utilization of knowledge for sustainable agricultural development.s one of the courses offered to Msc. Agricultural Information and Communication students.The broad aim of the course is to strengthen capacity in key aspects of agricultural knowledge management so as to realize effective creation, storage, updating, retrieval, dissemination, sharing and utilization of knowledge for sustainable agricultural development. It is expected that the course will help learners appreciate agricultural knowledge as a resource in the now apparent global knowledge economy that calls for a competitive agricultural sector.

    Mode of Delivery

    The course will be delivered in an interactive manner. The role of your lecturer will mainly be that of facilitator. I will guide you to sources of relevant literature and information. Students will be expected to do alot of reading on their own which will be followed by presentations and discussions . A number of assignments and practice exercises will be given from time to time. One key aspect of knowledge management is knowledge sharing. It is expected that information and knowledge sharing will be the norm in this course.

    Please ensure that you have:
    (1) Written a pledge committing to develop electronic content (2) Explained how you will overcome any anticipated challenges

    This must be explicitly done on your blog.
