Welcome to PovNetU

What is PovNetU?

PovNetU is a collection of online courses which are a useful and cost efficient way of improving the skills and knowledge of anti-poverty front line workers.

The courses are facilitated by experienced advocates and include online discussion forums that enable learners to talk to and collaborate with one another as well as do individual work at their own pace.

 

What makes up a PovNetU course?

Welcome to PovNetU

Web Pages

Course web pages take learners through the course week-by-week. PovNet U courses also include exercises and scenarios, links to other resources and information about the course facilitator and other participants.

Discussion Forums

PovNetU courses include private, password-protected discussion lists, collaborative workspaces and private journals where course learners can discuss course content and work together or alone to complete exercises.

Facilitators

Even online course learners need human contact. PovNetU courses are led by experienced advocates who moderate the forum conversations and provide feedback to course participants.
