November 29: The Launch of "itrainonline.org": An Online
Resource for Learners and Trainers in the Development
Community

Although the World Wide Web offers many Internet and
ICTs-related training materials, it is often difficult to
find relevant, high-quality resources targeted at NGOs,
development organizations, and other civil society groups.
The APC "Online Resource Centre" project is supporting the
creation of an interactive, multilingual Website of Internet
training materials to support and promote the strategic use
of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for
development and social justice. 

At the centre of the APC Online Resource Centre's activities
is the Itrainonline Website, developed in partnership among
six organizations with extensive experience in training in a
development context: APC, Bellanet, the International
Institute for Communication and Development (IICD), the
International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD),
the International Network for the Availability of Scientific
Publications (INASP) and OneWorld.

Drawing on the extensive training experience of APC members
and the other Itrainonline partners, this site offers
materials and annotated links to high-quality resources in
English, Spanish, and other languages, on topics ranging
from computer and Internet basics to highly technical areas
and the ways that civil society and development
organizations can increase their impact using these tools.
