The second challenge was that detail explanations with practical examples were not highlighted adequately. The third challenge was that lunch provided was inadequate to strengthen participants interest and coherent. The last challenge was that no enough space within the class and inadequate microphone to reach out responses.
- Recommendations (Please list at least 5 recommendations to make this project better): Firstly, the project may look at providing temporary computer set with networking capabilities such as internet modem for each and every participant in attendance to curtail the problem of access to online information. Secondly, facilitators may need to be trained more to facilitate knowledge input adequately. Thirdly, tea and bread or breakfast may be provided to enhance early daily attendance of participant to the training class. Fourthly, adequate building or class may be provided for enhance organization and environment. Lastly, and very important the project may prepare some sort of online questions, quiz or exams based on each day activity for which every participant may be exposed to prior to leaving the class. The online assessment can be restricted on a chosen time allowed to test understanding of every participant on daily basis and perhaps to score the participants.
