Web Based Courses
AMANET's Web Based Courses project has entered a new phase. The much successful Web Based Course in Basic Health Research Ethics is now available again hosted in a new platform. The course offers exactly the same content as before, however the methods of presentation have changed. For those who registered and took the previous course it is not necessary to do this course again. However if you registered but did not finish all the required modules then you must register again and start afresh.
What is new?
1. Self Printing of Certificate
Self Printing of Certificates
With the new platform powered by Moodle and Wimba you will no longer have to wait for a certificate to be sent to you via post from the AMANET Secretariat. Your certificate will become available and downloadable to your computer in PDF, if you successfully complete the required modules. You will then make your own arrangements for printing the certificate.
2.Wimba Live Classroom
Wimba Live Classroom
The new platform is powered by Wimba, an advanced set of tools which aim at creating an almost classroom like environment in the online training. Wimba will provide Live classroom, a tool that allows participants and instructors to meet directly online. This tool will enable voice as well as video direct interaction between participants and instructors.

With Wimba voice tools you can now get your voice heard literally. You can now take part in voice based discussion forum. In addition plans are underway to include voice version of the lectures so that you can opt to listen to the lecture rather than to read it. All you need is a computer with a sound card, a microphone and a headset or speakers.
