Russian e-Learning in Post Production

The Russian version of the PPMS/DMF, Implementation Planning and Change Management e-Learning modules are now in post-production phase and will soon be online. This version is being made in response to the requests by the Russian speaking facilitators and former participants of the face to face courses. The video shooting happened from 9 to 13 November, 2009 at the ADB TV studio room by Edan Empainado as the videographer.

Ms Nana Kvanchiany and Ms Alissa Klima are the module translators and presenters. Nana handled the nine modules of the PPMS/DMF. She graduated from the TOF in Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan and co-facilitated with Andrea and Pet TOF in Armenia and Turkey. She is a Project Analyst  in the ADB Tajikistan Resident Mission. Meanwhile, Alissa delivered the Implementation planning and change manage management modules is a freelance facilitator from Uzbekistan. She continued working with ADB related projects since 1999 and has been with the Performance Management Systems activities since 2006. She co-facilitated TOFs in India and Turkey.

Being their very first e-learning presentation experience, both Nana and Alissa discovered the subtle differences between the traditional face to face and the e-learning versions. E-learning allows you to take the course at your own time and phase. You can “stop and go” and repeat a module as you may need. The learning rhythm adjusts with your natural speed and learning style. It is dynamic, lively, exciting, stimulating and practical as it takes the learners into a step-by-step process. Both Nana and Alissa would like to invite the future PPMS/DMF participants, facilitators, implementation managers, change agents, friends and colleagues to take the e-learning course right in front of their computer screens in their respective work places.

The Russian videos will now move into the video and sound editing while other elements like handouts, quizzes and certificates are being translated. Then, the completed elements will be given to the Moodle specialists for more HTML and SWF programming before being mounted on this site. Meanwhile, Andrea has just announced the pre-production of the Chinese versions.
