I must confess that I have attended a lot of training workshops but this bring more serious and ready to do participants. Every participant trying to do his or her best to catch up with proceedings though not in a court room. Ladies are competing with the men, quite a full-house participation.

Course Contents achieved till Day 3 

• Background information on Web 2.0

I believe there more in store for today. The account I am giving you is two days account. We have just began the day. You can imagine what I'll write about tomorrow. It is only dead things that do stop learning, learning has no end. I am a capacity building officer and I appreciate this exercise.

The beauty of Web 2.0 tools and the challenges faced

Web 2.0 tools as we are discovering and learning during these 5 days, have been designed to really facilitate communication, information sharing and collaboration as they are user-centered and friendly to use.

However, as a video showed, two hands are needed for Development using Web 2.0, one hand being the web 2.0 tools themselves, and the other, being the people/community themselves.  This is one most important key factor for successful development using web 2.0, and thus sensitization and massive training should be given, on how web 2.0 really benefits the community and encourages collaboration.
