Abstract
Grameenogram is an e-learning project designed to train NGO micro credit workers who share a vested interest in capacity building strategies, especially in sectors where expert knowledge is not always readily available. Many NGO workers receive little in the way of formal training and instead rely heavily on informal knowledge situated within their communities of practice. In response to this, Grameenogram offers a one-stop solution for aggregating authentic online materials on topics and themes such as Grameen, micro credit, poverty, and capacity building through RSS feeds. Hypermedia files are presented in a classified format, including text, image, audio and video media with context-specific information on the aforementioned topics and themes. The aggregating website trawls for information from various social spaces and communities online and categorizes them according to the delivery and communications technologies they employ such as podcasts, vlogs, and blogs to enable quick recognition for their consumption, adaptation and reuse in micro credit learning initiatives.
