Creating the Internet-Based Nonprofit
Presented during the Kenya Association of Fundraising Professionals' 19th Eastern Africa Resource Mobilization Workshop in Mombasa, Kenya. December 7, 2012.
Staying on top of emerging technology trends, new apps, and other social media outlets can be overwhelming. This presentation highlights the latest and greatest of these tools and discusses possible marketing opportunities for libraries. More importantly, this presentation will rely on a theme stating that many services and tools will die, but people will always remain the catalytic agent for social activities online and offline! In other words, people are still the “killer app!”
Discovery – how engagement and UX research chart the course to success.Andrew Mallis
Content Management System: the name stakes a bold claim. Can an organization inject all its content into a magic internet box and see it come out the other side organized and pretty?
Before we jump into data models like content types, fields, or custom entities we engage in Discovery. Planning and strategy are required to answer the really big problems that will define a projects' success.Discovery isn't requirements gathering. It is one of many periods of structured conversation on common ground with stakeholders whose outcomes seek to help realize the project.
In this talk we will think about how Agencies and Clients can augment one another's strengths to DELIVER VALUE to the User. We'll audit the tools at our disposal in Discovery, and case-study how to select the right one(s) for the job.
Here are the buzzwords you are looking for:
agile
RFPs, briefs, proposals
workshops
analytics
user stories
personas
content strategy
documentation
prototypes
user testing
UX
IA
style tiles
compliance
design artifacts

#FRO2020 Digital Storytelling to Attract International FoundationsElizabeth (Liz) Ngonzi
Digital storytelling to attract international foundations:
How to access, attract, and engage international foundations online
In our ever-increasingly digitally connected world, NGOs from around the world potentially have the opportunity to access the $150 billion in annual philanthropic giving by the 260,000 foundations worldwide. Unfortunately, many NGOs lack the information necessary to understand how to go about doing so.
In this webinar, participants will learn about how to leverage effective digital storytelling to attract, inspire and engage with international foundations online, while differentiating themselves from the more than 10 million NGOs worldwide, through:
- Use of a storytelling framework that catalyzes international donors and demonstrates the credibility necessary to overcome common challenges faced by organizations engaging with geographically dispersed donors.
- An understanding about how to research and connect with international donors and which online platforms to use to tell their own stories.
This practical 30-minute webinar will also provide links to valuable resources to conduct further research on your own and to take steps to begin your NGO’s journey to access, attract and activate international foundations.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

“In September 2010, international organizations, heads of state, celebrities and specialists gathered to review progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)…set in 2000 to achieve eight anti-poverty goals by 2015. In the midst of the coverage of these grand events, high profile attendees wined, dined and debated the relative merits of each MDGs plan, while the actual “poor,” were not invited to these elite events.Project Diaspora decided to change perceptions about the poor by building the Villages in Action platform whereby the voices of the poor can be heard. On November 27, 2010, the first conference was held in a village outside Masindi, Uganda. The goal of this one-day conference was to showcase the grassroots efforts driving economic development and improving the lives of the community – all with little or no assistance from international aid organizations. In January 2012, Villages in Action partnered with GirlUp in a tweetchat that enabled these eight rural Ugandan girls to share their questions with the world spurring a conversation that reached over 1.5 million people (including Ivanka Trump) and generated over 4 million impressions on Twitter. This truly demonstrates the power of social media to amplify a message, empower girls and hopefully open up their world such that they aspire to leadership positions.During the 2012 Villages in Action conference in Uganda, 10 village girls were able to share their views about their community, in a global tweetchat that reached 1.5 million people.

This Ewe-mina Proverb refers to this unknown part of the struggle between the lion and the hunter because we Africans know well that a story is never complete until one hears from both sides. The one who does not have the voice is often the loser. This loser might well be the lion to the hunter, the servant to the master, the chief to his subjects, the wife to her domineering husband. It is in these circumstances when one voice dominates the other that this proverb is often heard.
