Target audience: General, Trainers
Cost: Free access
Conceived and built by staff at the Institute for Learning and Research Technology at the University of Bristol and part of The Resource Discovery Network (RDN), Virtual Training Suite is an initiative designed to teach information skills to students, lecturers and researchers in higher and further education-and help them to become e-literate! Although primarily designed for higher education in the UK, it is also freely available for anyone else to use. It comprises a set of "teach yourself" tutorials delivered over the Web, each of which offers Internet skills training in a particular subject area grouped under six main headings: engineering and mathematics, health and life sciences, the physical sciences, reference, the humanities, and the social sciences, business and law. 39 subject areas are covered at this time, with each tutorial created by a subject specialist drawn from universities and professional organizations across the UK. The tutorials take around an hour to complete, and includes quizzes and interactive exercises to lighten the learning experience. Each tutorial is structured under four sections: (i) Tour key Internet sites, (ii) Discover tools and techniques to improve your Internet searching, (iii) Review the critical thinking required when using the Internet, (iv) and Reflect on how to use the Internet for studying, teaching or research. The Virtual Training Suite is also an excellent resource for librarians who need tools to support their user-education programmes.
Of particular interest will be "The Internet for Development" at http://www.vts.rdn.ac.uk/tutorial/development/

How Open APIs Can Change How Nonprofits Manage Data
Developed by: NTEN
Type of resource: PDF document
Target audience: General, Trainers
Cost: Free access
Nonprofits manage lots of data: research, files, data on constituents, donors, and clients, etc. Choosing
software to manage this organizational data is difficult enough. Getting applications to talk to one another
in ways that are efficient and in support of the organization’s mission is even harder. Application Programming
Interfaces or APIs provide a way to simplify data management tasks. Software vendors and open
source software projects are increasingly using APIs to help their customers/users increase the extensibility
and integration possibilities of their software. This paper examines the problem that APIs try to solve, technologies
behind APIs, vendor strategies, and examples of things you can do with APIs.

Themes and Issues in Telecentre Sustainability
Developed by: Raul Roman & Royal D. Colle
Type of resource: Web article
Target audience: General, Trainers
Cost: Free access
Abstract: The initiation, diffusion and adoption of the telecentre idea has been an enormously eclectic process, largely devoid of systematic research and planning. The approach has generally been one of pilot projects — trying out models to see what works to achieve a diversity of objectives. In some cases the approach has been simply entrepreneurial, with enterprising business people exploring new opportunities for profit-making.
A range of important issues is linked to the operation and success of telecentres. These include: sustainability, community relevance, government policy, information and communication technology (ICT), research, community partnerships and participation, telecentre objectives, and business planning. Often mentioned but largely undeveloped is the training associated with telecentre management, an issue that relates to all of the issues mentioned.
While each of the issues deserves systematic analysis, this chapter concentrates on sustainability and training. Based on data collected from Australia and South Africa to Hungary and Canada — and from various project documents — we describe some of the strategies being used to sustain telecentres. We put this discussion especially in the context of developing nations because of the intense interest in the early 21st century in incubating telecentres in places where individual connectivity to information access is most problematic.
