Description
                                          

The first Train the Trainer Workshop of Asi@Connect WP5 Project “Facilitating Distance Learning using Digital Conferencing Facility”  will be hosted by Lanka Education and Research Network (LEARN) in Sri Lanka. The project is being implemented by the Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN) in collaboration with NORDUnet, Denmark.

The project is aimed at deploying a Digital Conferencing Platform for enhancement of collaboration, distance learning and knowledge sharing that will connect faculties, students, researchers, experts and resources from anyone, to anywhere. Deploying the platform within the TEIN itself locally will provide optimal performance and minimize dependency on resources in Europe or the US.

Beneficiary countries Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand will attend the workshop. Resource persons from NORDUnet, Denmark will attend the workshop for appraising the technical design and hardware, software, technical features of the distance learning system and also provide hands-on training on the system.
