نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe an innovative way of using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to support the efficient, effective and sustainable development of change and innovation management competencies in municipality teams and community representatives – Community Change Master (CCM). The CCM eLearning approach presented is based on both experiential and collaborative learning models relying on technologies such as advanced social simulation and internet-based videoconferencing techniques supported by satellite DVB -RCS access. The key design principles underlying this eLearning approach and first insights gained in the context of a large EU-sponsored project are presented and discussed.
