Technical assistance oriented to the maintainance and improvement of the eLearning Platform “Connect”

A project carried out for International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies – FIIAPP

The International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (FIIAPP) has a wide experience in public technical cooperation. It focuses on the progress of personal capabilities of public administration employees from all the partner countries and encourages institutional strengthening.  

FIIAPP’s willingness to increase efficiency as part of its development plan has resulted in the search for a generation of new virtual collaborative workspaces. This will help to increase the Foundation’s work methods (onsite and online). To this end, a free and open learning management system (LMS) such as Moodle was provided. Its characteristics, versatility and recognised results respond to the demands of Public Technical Cooperation (CTP) of the countries and institutions within the framework of the programmes in which FIIAPP participates. 

This training platform, Connect.fiiapp.es, offers a formative system and a collaborative workspace that allows users to work with other institutions. Its different functionalities bring users together and enable them to integrate other applications through plugins such as Office 365 applications or the services of any webinar platform. Connect is also adapted to mobile devices (responsive).
