Dear everyone, Great discussion! First, coming from a 4-day road trip from Leyte and Samar for our internal assessment ~3 months after Yolanda, remote training is not really the best option. In many areas, 3g connection is non-existent so, we need to find ways on how to do on site training under

Kate, I think that once the relationship has been built, that followup using tools like TeamViewer is very practical. That app has a some great features, including group sessions, and is free for non commercial use, nd I am sure there is other alternatives out there just as good.. We have used

Eugene is 100% correct. I have conducted many training seminars in the Philippines (previous life) and I have found that face to face is the most effective. Additionally, it is a lot more effective with small groups. If you had 20 participants, it would be better to split into two or three smaller

Hi All, We have faced similar challenged in Indonesia. Typically with our trainings someone runs the powerpoint and talks at the front but then we have other trainers around the trainees looking for problems and providing help. There are also times we break into small groups. The small groups can

Hi Maning, Do you need some sort of trainor's training? Maybe we can organize workshops like that. I'm interested in this. I've used OSM but I'm not that confident of skills and a training of trainors would at least ensure that the basics are covered. Any other ideas? My personal goal,
