About Click4it

The Click4it wiki is a knowledge base repository of training methods, tools, materials, definitions, resources, and toolkits. It results from extensive work, encompassing planning, mapping, analysis, structuring, and synthesizing content for publishing. Mirroring data mining processes, the work conducted comprised thorough research, compilation, classification, summarization, clustering, and knowledge synthesis of definitions, methods, resources, and tools, to render, on a content value chain format and dynamic collaborative platform, an extensive repository of learning and training industry’s terms, methodologies, and tools.


Click4it currently holds over 500 terms, methods, and tools on a variety of topics related to learning and training in addition to pointing to a great number of external resources. Throughout the wiki the reader finds pointers to training materials, job aids, cross-referenced definitions, and a wealth of selected links to external resources and materials.


Click4it is powered by MediaWiki. A web 2.0 platform was the technological choice to facilitate a two-way communication flow, at once supplying knowledge services and providing an open and dynamic channel for collaboration and knowledge sharing, where registered users can contribute content and share their experiences after consulting resources or using toolkits. Contributors with editing rights collaborate adding content, making submissions, providing suggestions of new terms, methods, tools to be added, or editing existing entries, reformulating content, complementing references, or suggesting new materials or resources. Registered contributors can also make use of discussion pages to provide comments or feedback on specific topics.

UNITAR is welcoming content contributors interested in collaborating to keep the dynamics and continuous development of Click4it.


How is it organized?

The main elements of Click4it website are accessible from the menu on the top of the screen. The contents are organized in five sections: Overall Repository, the E-Learning, the Knowledge Management, and the Monitoring & Evaluation terminologies and the Toolkits section.

The Overall Repository is the section that incorporates all the terms. Currently there are close to 400 terms in the web-site. Every term listed in the Overall Repository page is an active link to its correspondent definition.


Icons.jpg
The E-Learning, the Knowledge Management, and the Monitoring & Evaluation terminologies are derived from the Overall Repository and simply compile the terms related to these specialized subjects, trying to facilitate the consultation of terms in these particular fields. The Overall Repository is always the main root. New terms are included in this section; the other lists of terms are updated accordingly.


Newtoolkit.jpg
In the Toolkits section you will find how to put into practice the tools and methods defined in the Overall Repository: “how to” guides, general guidelines, step-by-step instructions, practical tips, instructions for facilitators, and job aids are some of the materials you will find in the Toolkits section.
