New Distant-Learning Course for NGOs: Online Efficiency


New Distant-Learning Course for Online Efficiency

Dr Burkhard Luber, Executive Staff of the Threshold Foundation, offers
new Tele-Teaching about Online Efficiency for international NGOs.
Based on similar On-site Trainings for NGOs by Burkhard Luber in many
countries worldwide for several years, this new course targets NGO
workers wanting to improve their Internet capacity and thereby
advancing the efficiency of their organizations. It is focused on
persons already having a basic knowledge of emailing and web surfing,
who are now wanting to get hold of more sophisticated know-how and
material about Internet-based opportunities.

Feel free to share this Tele-Teaching announcement with other
persons/organization who you think might be interested to be informed
about this course opportunity.
