[emc2pdc id=”1606″]Distance Interactive Applied Learning
In 1728, the first recorded instance of distance learning occurred in Boston, USA, when a “Caleb Phillips” advertises private correspondence courses in short hand in the Boston Gazette. This was the first attempt to facilitate learning via a distance (see diagram on the following page) but it was by no means the last attempt. In 1892, the term “distance education” was first used in a pamphlet by the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the USA so if someone tells you they coined those words, you know they are not familiar with the history of distance learning.
Virtual learning is open to innovative practices to meet the challenges that emerge as technologies expand. GIVE3D has direct opportunities to reach out to these groups. The Executive Summary clearly confirms our commitment to Distance Learning opportunities. Educators can connect as never before and create a formidable model that can change the way we present our curriculum.
UMCOR PROJECT
The emergency phase produced by the earthquake in Haiti has now passed. This means we have the opportunity to work with our partners and in the communities to build lasting local solutions to the impediments to development that plagued the country even prior to 2010,” she explained. “Having a development strategy in place allows us to focus on those longer-term solutions without neglecting unexpected urgent needs such as those produced recently by Hurricane Sandy in Haiti.”
According to the strategy, UMCOR will continue to work in the key program areas it has developed since the quake, nearly three years ago: livelihoods, education, health, water and sanitation, shelter and reconstruction, and capacity strengthening and partnerships.
UMCOR will do so guided by three core “strategic directions.” These are: strengthening partnerships, engaging communities in an integrated program approach, and fortifying local organizational capacity—that of UMCOR and of its main partner, Eglise Methodiste d’Haiti (EMH), the Methodist Church of Haiti.
USAID GRANT
GIVE3D INC is a non-profit organization seeking to contribute to the structuring of the private sector of education at a university level and to the development and improvement of education, especially in disadvantaged areas of the world. Lack of access to education remains a key obstacle to social and economic development in Haiti, with less than half of Haitian school-aged children enrolled in primary school and an adult literacy rate of just over 50 percent.
We are proposing a comprehensive, technology initiative to impact Haiti’s educational program, apprenticeships to facilitate transition to the workplace, providing students a practical, “hands on” instruction during their studies, and an approach that fosters community outside the geographical confines of the main campus itself. Delivered in both a synchronous (real time interaction) or asynchronous (delayed interaction) format, distance programs provide choices in course selection. Although rigorous, the ease of accessibility makes distance learning a viable alternative for students.
