#1 Target Audience
Expand audience with a concentrated short refresher course
#2 Type of Program: Face to Face
The training delivery strategy provides a opportunity for the adult learners to get immersed into the comprehensive curriculum which is augmented by relevant information exchange with the facilitators and senior ICANN staff.
Each training module will be available after the training sessions as video recordings and to be accessible through the ICANN Academy website. One possible way to add multilingual support to the archive is to add subtitles to the recordings. This is not covered by the current plan nor by its budget
# 3 Training Days: 3 day program (20 hours)
# 4 Materials*: Participant training materials including supplemental educational resources will be made available in the private Wiki Workspace. Each course module will be organized according to the module title, course objectives, course deliverables, glossary, course outlines and workbooks. Each module will incorporate the assigned reading assignments and slideshows and audio visual resources. # 5 *Curriculum
Note: the ordering within each of those categories, at the moment, is not meant to represent priority or importance, just the order in which they were thought about.# 6
1. Core topics (Day 1)
These should be taught by specialist in the area, i.e. people who have taught the subject before or who have done research in the area. While primarily presentation in style they should include discussion session, those could be done separate, i.e. a lecture with a chance for clarifying questions, and then a seminar for those who want to delve deeper.
Some of the topics to be considered include:
Some of the topics to be considered include:* Internet Fundamentals* *
Fellow’s presentation to learn more about their background should be part of the first day, this should be organised in a relaxed atmosphere (after dinner for instance). This could also be a chance to introduce peer to peer mentoring. (see proposal Siva and Glenn)#7
2. Specific ICANN training (Day 2)
These would be well suited to presentation by ICANN senior staff, and Board/ACSO chairs/council/ExCom presenters. These would be best suited to a Lecture and Q/A format. Perhaps practicum exercises could be included in some of the topics (e.g. what does the budget form look like, how does one do a request for information, how to deal with g-council proxy ...)* ICANN Mandate and Vision
3. Current ICANN Issues
These can be taught by the chairs and other leaders of the various efforts. Alternatively, the students in the class could do them as research projects. These would be discussion topics more than lectures.* In depth discussion of all recently terminated public comment issues
(We can also use webinars to deepen the topics before or after the Academy or the TechDay on Monday of each ICANN meeting)
4. Wrap Up after the IANN meeting (1/2 day)
Fellows should have the possibility to reflect their experience and get clarification on specific issues.
Methodology
The core training fundamentals over the three day training period will take the learner from an initial gradual introduction to a topic, onward to illustrative examples and then to finally detailed practical application, all with the goal to reinforce the concept so that the learner achieve maximum understanding
