Abstract

The Diplomatic Institute (ISDI) - the structure of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs dedicated to internal training of the personnel – has started several experiments in the field of online learning. Tools such as Blogs, online learning modules, webinars and Netvibes have been developed and have contributed to enrich the training offer of the Institute. This paper illustrates the challenges that this small structure has faced and the results that have been accomplished so far. It also shares seven lessons learned from this experience.
