Interactive Guidelines on Innovative Methodologies and Technologies for Learning
 * "Compass 2.0":**

DELTA will soon publish an orientation toolkit called the Compass, introducing innovative learning methodologies and technologies and defining their potential use and placement in the entire learning management cycle. One of the products of this toolkit is a set of instructional sheets on how to use participatory learning methods and techniques in your own context as a trainer.

As conveyed in the inter-agency UN knowledge fair held in Turin last year, there is an increasing demand in the UN system for guidance on how to use participatory learning, training and knowledge sharing methods and tools. Responding to this demand, Delta has recently developed an Online Toolkit on Knowledge Sharing for OHCHR, tailoring the experience and expertise used for the Compass to the OHCHR context. It is expected we will develop additional tailor-made toolkits for other organizations/institutions as well.

The ILO has also recently placed additional emphasis on information and knowledge management as a means of improving the Organization’s services to constitutents, and has identified a special role for the ITC in supporting these efforts. As a first step in supporting these efforts, proposal seeks to help the ILO-ITC lead by example and to support 2012 staff development efforts by further developing guidance on participatory learning, training and knowledge sharing practice for the ILO-ITC. Under this proposal, Delta will (1) update the Compass guidelines to include instructional sheets on introduce 10 new learning methodologies (i.e. community of practice, social network analysis and scenario planning) and 5 new learning technologies; (2) convert the guidelines to a user-friendly online format; and (3) develop and implement a strategy to introduce the Compass guidance to ITC staff."
