FYI - Fwd: [ISOC] New Resource for ISOC Members -- Inforum: Learn. Engage. Act.

[Santiago Ferreira]

Interesting resource, last year I took the course and learn a lot about the
Internet ecosystem.

Maybe it's good to us start collaborating making a module specifically for
the web and open web standars. (Open Source too in the future?)

what do you think?

Hello Everyone,

The Internet Society is excited to announce the launch of Inforum, the new
eLearning platform and associated courses for our chapters and members.

Inforum builds on the Internet Society's deep and long history of sharing
subject matter expertise, delivering on-the-ground training and workshops,
and building a cadre of leaders and influencers at the intersection of
Internet governance and global and regional initiatives. Inforum also
equips and empowers individuals and communities to advance the Internet as
a boundless platform for innovation, human expression, and growth for those
online now -- and the billions still to come.

Inforum offers our chapters and members:

- Localized, on-the-go content with the the ability to offer up to 20
languages, flexible modes of delivery (including mobile), and low-bandwidth
options
- Dynamic and engaging curriculum developed by learning experts,
covering a wide range of Internet-related topics
- Community building via access to SMEs, discussion forums, online
communications tools, and continuous professional development

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Like so many of the initiatives at ISOC, the design, delivery, and launch
of Inforum was only possible because of the thought partnership and
collaboration across the organization and with our communities. A very
special thanks to the chapters and members who were part of the Pilot User
Group -- and who took the time to give us feedback on the materials and
platform during the initial design and delivery.

If you have any questions, please drop us an email at inf...@isoc.org. In
the interim, additional information can be found at the Inforum landing
page at: www.internetsociety.org/inforum.

Best regards,
Toral
