Internet learning materials now available in French and in English
------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings,
I'm pleased to share the news that "Venez Sur Internet: Etapes
Faciles Pour Réussir sur Internet", the french version of
Kabissa's 150-page Internet training manual "Time To Get Online
- Simple Steps to Success on the Internet", is now available. We
are very excited as this release means that Time To Get Online
workshops will now be possible in francophone African countries
- stay tuned for improved support for francophone Africa on our
Web sites in the near future. While tailored for African organi-
zations, they are also perfectly relevant and useful for non-
profits wherever they are in the world. To learn more about the
materials and to download them for FREE as Adobe PDF files (150
pp. 2.74 MB!), click:
http://www.timetogetonline.org/content/view/19/43/
or see both the English and French descriptions of the materials
below.
The translation/localization work was made possible through a
grant from the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA -
see http://www.osiwa.org). OSIWA, together with GTZ
(http://www.gtz.de), supported our first Time To Get Online
Training-of-trainers workshop for West African civil society or-
ganizations, which took place in Accra, Ghana this past August.
Participants in that workshop came from throughout West Africa,
and during the course of the next year will run their own TTGO
workshops. More TOT workshops are planned.

Time To Get Online - Simple Steps to Success on the Internet
Kabissa's Time to Get Online learning materials are the founda-
tion of our capacity building program. We developed the materi-
als for use by African civil society organizations. They are de-
signed to be both a self-learning curriculum and to be distrib-
uted during hands-on workshops conducted by our training part-
ners. After each workshop we re-evaluate our curriculum, adding
or subtracting material to make our program more effective. This
fine tuning enables us to provide the best possible learning ma-
terials and workshops as possible, tailored to the needs of Af-
rican civil society.
What do the materials cover?
The 150-page "Time To Get Online" materials are centered around
the five essential "steps to success on the Internet". The first
half of the materials is geared towards creating Internet-savvy
activists. The second half will help them to become effective
Internet champions, capable of leading their organizations
through the challenging process of integrating the Internet into
everything they do. The Appendices and accompanying CD-ROM
(print version only) contain a wealth of additional resources
for continued learning, freely distributable computer software
and more.
How do I get Time to Get Online materials for my organization?
You can access the materials in two different ways:
1) Download them!
Downloading our Time to Get Online materials is FREE. The mate-
rials are in Adobe PDF format which means that you need to have
Adobe Acrobat Reader to read and print them out. The compressed
version downloads faster, but requires a ZIP extractor.
To download the latest version now, click on
http://www.timetogetonline.org/content/view/19/43/
2) Order a print version.
You can also order a printed version of the materials. This
print version is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing additional
learning resources, Web sites and software. WE DO CHARGE FOR THE
PRINT VERSION, but just to cover the cost of publication and
shipping. Accordingly, the price charged for the materials de-
pends on the quantity required and how much it costs us to ship
them to you. This cost usually runs between US$ 25 and US$ 40;
please contact Kabissa at mailto:info@timetogetonline.org to de-
termine the exact price and place an order.

de notre programme de formation. Nous développons ces matériels
afin que les sociétés civiles africaines puissent les utiliser.

prentissage et également distribués pendant le déroulement des
ateliers que dirigent nos partenaires. Après chaque atelier nous
actualisons, et en additionnant ou supprimant des éléments afin
que ce programme reste performant. Ces réglages nous permettent
d?offrir les meilleurs matériels d?auto formation ainsi que les
meilleurs ateliers possibles adaptés au besoin des sociétés
civiles africaines.
Que couvre le matériel d?auto formation?
Les 150 pages du support ?Venez sur Internet? sont centres aut-
our de cinq essentielles ?étapes pour réussir sur Internet?. La
première moitié du support est destinée à former des nouveaux
professionnels de l?Internet. La deuxième moitié les aidera à

net au sein de leur organisation dans leur travail quotidien.

primée) contiennent une richesse certaine de ressources qui peu-
vent être utilisées pour continuer à apprendre plus, et égale-
ment des informations sur les logiciels gratuitement disponibles
