IDI/Enhancing eLearning Capacity programme 2015-2020

The IDI has been experimenting with eLearning solutions since 2005. Over the years the IDI has tried web based training, computer based training, using authoring tools to create eLearning packages, self-running eLearning courses, mentor led eLearning courses and blended programmes. After a variety of experiences the IDI found blended solutions with mentor led eLearning and field audit components to be the best fit for IDI’s users. The IDI has been using such blended solutions by hiring the UNITAR eLearning platform. In 2015 the IDI launched this programme for enhancing elearning not only at the IDI, but in INTOSAI regions and SAIs as well. This programme of enhancing eLearning capacity will focus on developing IDI’s in house capacity for eLearning and facilitating the development of regional and SAI capacity by creating pools of eLearning and blednde learning specialists, documenting eLearning methodology and providing guidance and support for regions and SAIs to develop their own eLearning mechanisms. In 2015 IDI developed its own eLearning platform. This platform includes an eLearning portal and a Learning management System which allows IDI to deliver online courses as well as other interventions e.g. surveys, online tests, communities of practice. . A draft eLearning Handbook was developed to document methodology and a SAI pilot was also conducted.
