Going digital: What we have learnt about online capacity development

Join INASP’s team of digital learning experts for a conversation, hosted by John Young, about effective online approaches to research capacity development in this moment of crisis.

INASP has been delivering and facilitating online courses, communities of practice, mentoring, and other online approaches to support teaching and learning and capacity development for Southern researchers, students, and professionals across the research and knowledge system for over 10 years.

As the world looks to online alternatives, INASP is sharing some of what they have learnt to help research and knowledge organisations across the globe as they think about transforming their normal face-to-face activities to an online environment.

In this 60 minute webinar, INASP’s team of digital learning specialists will share experiences and insights, covering questions such as:

  • How can we adapt physical capacity development events to a digital-only environment?
  • What can we do to ensure the sustainability of digital capacity development initiatives?
  • How can we avoid reinforcing inequities or creating a new digital-based divide?
