Enrollment of selected fellows to the e-learning platform of PRIDA to complete the modules on internet governance. The requested platform run from 8 to 26 of August 2022. The list of the learners that were selected through the call of applications was sent to PRIDA e-learning team. Enrollment of applicants on the PRIDA e-Learning platform has been completed. The applicants are given 2 weeks to complete the online course and attend the 3 days virtual sessions along with the 1-day face-to-face sessions of the school. So, we have: 1. E-Learning phase using PRIDA e-Learning platform: 8th – 26th Aug. We provided the list of fellows by Aug. 11. 2. Virtual sessions on topics around Internet Development and Governance: 22, 23, and 25 of August. 3. Closing with a face-to-face meeting and hand-over of certificates: 26 of August. Please note that there was added adjustment here based on the information from the PRIDA e-Learning team on the setup for fellows and other practical aspects relating to the enrollment. Adjustment was required in the starting time due to other issues. |
