Net Tuesday December 6 – Delivering services through e-Learning

RSVP on Meetup

It’s not just your Communications and Fundraising teams that should be leveraging online tools.  Many non-profits are looking at new ways to use technology to fulfill their mission, including the delivery of programs through technology.  Just as many universities have focused on e-Learning to deliver education to students, non-profits organizations can also utilize e-Learning to deliver association services.

This session will share tools and techniques that can be used to deliver non-profit services online.  Looking beyond facebook and twitter, this session will cover both synchronous (webinar) solutions as well as asynchronous tools that are available.  There will be a focus on sharing best practices, lessons learned from the education sector, and how your non-profit can get started with e-Learning to deliver association services.
