AFF’s New Virtual Education Center: Using the Web to Train Teachers in Character Education

If we want the greatest number of children to strengthen their personality and character, it is necessary to train the greatest number of teachers to help them. Therefore, Alliance for the Family / AFF is bringing its teacher training courses to the web.

In its experimental stage, the new Virtual Education Center that will house the on-line courses will be available mainly in Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. Soon afterwards, the program will include all of Latin America. AFF will then translate the interactive materials into English, Portuguese, and French, paving the way for expansion to the US, the United Kingdom, Brazil, France, and various African countries.

The Virtual Education Center is the brainchild of a February, 2008 conference hosted by AFF with the participation of on-line training consultants and representatives of multilateral organizations such as the Organization of American States, the World Bank, and the Interamerican Network of New Technologies (known as RITLA, its Spanish acronym). The Center will open its virtual doors in 2010.
