eLearning Global Giveback Competition

 Finalists Announcment!

WOW!  Over thirty courses were developed and submitted for the first eLearning Global Giveback Competition!   Others continue under development… we know that key personnel from several agencies were pulled from the Global Giveback course development to respond to the Haiti earthquake disaster; and others were projects too big to complete in the competition timeframe. 


We are thrilled to congratulate and name the five finalists in the Individual/Group developer category and the four finalists in the Institutional/Company Developer category. Expert judges are now reviewing the entries and will select a winner from each category.

 

The winning entry from each category (individual/group developer and company/institutional developer) will be announced at the Thursday morning general session of the Learning Solutions Conference and Expo on March 25, in Orlando.  In addition, there will be a Global Giveback Reception on Thursday evening, where the finalist courses will be available for eLearning Guild Learning Solutions participants to view. 

 

We are enormously impressed with the response to this first Global Giveback and tremendously grateful to the developers who donated their time and expertise to the LINGOs member organizations doing important international development, relief and conservation work.

 Global Giveback Competition Closed 2010

The response to the eLearning Global Giveback has been tremendous. All of the courses in the list below have been assigned to developers and all of the teams have been formed (despite what may be listed in the chart below). We are still working on updating the chart but we wanted anyone interested in participating this time that the competition is officially closed.

However, we are still interested in people that might want to help LINGO members develop courses. These course would not be a part of the competition but would still be valuable in building the skills of relief and development workers worldwide. If you are interested, please send an email to marian@lingos.org . We will be in touch shortly after receiving your email.

Again, we are extremely grateful to all that offered their support and talents and we hope to make the Global Giveback Competition an Annual event.                                          

                                                                          The LINGOs Team

The eLearning Guild has been a proud supporter of LINGOs since the organization was  founded in 2005.  A consortium of over 45 international humanitarian organizations, LINGOs promotes sustainable global development by increasing the skills of workers that deliver programs around the world. Because of limited resources, the key to reaching those workers is online learning.
 
Several private sector companies have generously donated courseware and tools to help build general management, IT and project management skills within LINGOs organizations.  However, much of the need is for courses tailored to specific challenges of these organizations. So this year, the Guild and LINGOs are proud to sponsor the eLearning Global Giveback Competition.
 
LINGOs members have posted a list of courses they need developed but lack the resources to create. We are calling on Guild members that are interested in using their instructional development skills to help make the planet a better place to review the list of courses and take on the task of working with a LINGOs member to make their course a reality so it can be used by employees around the world.
 
A list of nearly 70 proposed courses appears below.
 
For more information about the eLearning Global Giveback Competition contact Eric Berg (eric (at) lingos.org).
 

If you are interested in helping, here is what to do next:
The list is organized alphabetically by the organization requesting help. By clicking on the agency name, you will be taken to their website so  you can learn more about them.
 
The course titles are under each organization's name.
 
On the right side are two columns. If the course still needs a volunteer, there will be a no in the column marked "assigned." In many cases, teams will be working on courses so if there is room on the team there will be a Yes in the column marked "Open for Others."
 
By clicking on the course title, you will be taken to another page with more details about the course and the content. If you are interested in working on the course, contact the "Key Contact" from the organization via email.

 Frequently Asked Questions

 Sponsors

The eLearning Global Giveback is being supported by a number of companies that are making their development tools available to volunteers working on a course for any LINGOs members.  These are licenses to be used only for that course and will be valid through March.  To see which companies are participating, a description of the tools and information on accessing the tools, click here.

 Judging Criteria and Timeline

Guild member volunteers will work directly with the LINGOs member (for a complete list of LINGOS members: http://ngolearning.org/aboutlingos/memberagencies) to complete the development of the course.   Volunteers will start choosing courses on December 7th, therefore all content for the course needs to be uploaded by the LINGOs members to the site before December 7th.  (If you are a member agency trying to upload your content, email Robb Allen (robb (at) lingos.org) to receive the password and ID for the site.)  
 
To be eligible to win the competition, volunteers must submit the courses both to LINGOs and the LINGOs member by March 1, 2010. The work of each entry will then be evaluated by the LINGOs member agency for creativity, appropriateness, learner appeal, working relationship and impact.
 
Based on the scores from individual LINGOs members, on March 10, 2010 five courses will be selected as Finalists and will be submitted to a panel of nationally recognized leaders in the eLearning field. One course will be selected as the 2010 Global Giveback winner and will be recognized at the eLearning Guild's annual event, Learning Solutions Conference and Expo in Orlando on March 24-26, 2010.
 
Many LINGOs organizations have attached content that covers more material than is reasonable for a course for the competition. However, if the topic is of interest and you have ideas for how some part of the content could be turned into an eLearning course, contact the key contact from the agency to discuss the possibilities.
 
Also, some content has been uploaded in Spanish. Again, if the topic is of interest, contact the agency key contact to determine if the content is available in English as well.
 
In general, if you have any questions about the course, contact the organization's key contact.
 
If you are interested in helping but can't find a course that matches your interest contact Eric Berg at eric (at) lingos.org
