Web 2.0 applications and social media - enable people to collaborate to create, share and publish information. 
 

The Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mauritius (UoM) in collaboration with CTA and Food and Agricultural Research Council (FARC)  hosted a 5-day workshop  on  Web 2.0 Learning Opportunity It started  on Monday 23 July 2012 at 9 AM.  I was glad to be one of the participants to be  introduced to selected web 2.0 applications and  how to use them hands-on.

The Learning Opportunity will cover advanced online searching,getting information served via alerts and RSS, collaborating remotely using wikis and Google Docs, using VoIP, online mapping and social networking. Participants will get a chance to see what others have done, get hands-on experience on how to use innovative applications, and assess how  could adopt these innovations within the context of their work and organisation. 

My experience is that the course was well planned and organized. The team made a lot of efforts to ensure that we get the theory, the practical in a conducive , friendly environment.

Thanks to the FoA, FARC and CTA for organizing the  course
