moderation • Own learning goals / own pace… • …But towards the final product
Pilot • 23 participants from 5 consortia (Ghana,
Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka) • Key questions:
– Does the course support immediate application of learning in practice?
– Can it be delivered in a non-facilitated mode?

Key challenges • 11 out of 23 completed the course project • Reasons:
