What is the difference in between UN ESCAP/UNITAR e-Learning courses and traditional workshops? Will the lack of face-to-face discussion in the e-learning course affect the quality of the course?
While UNITAR’s e-Learning courses will not involve face-to-face interaction, which traditional workshops offer, there are several advantages that the e-learning courses offer. The courses not only offer flexibility in time and location, but they also synthesize the inputs, materials, and texts of the numerous workshops in a well-structured manner. While the e-learning courses do not have the face-to face component as the workshops do, there will nevertheless be a weekly discussion board session in which a panel of senior international experts will be logged on ‘live’ to discuss any questions that may arise in regards to the course.
