- 15. Feedback
- 18. • [Further] minimize obligatory readings (only one academic paper per week) • Improve practical case examples linking the theory/evidence learned from the course materials • Refine the narrative of the problem statements from “neutral” to “your problem” • No generic literature, but rather applied research papers • Combining GPACers with incoming (full-time) PhD fellows (n = 12) • Simplifying the layout of the online platform
- 22. Facilitators’ Impressions • participants do not illustrate their ideas with examples from their own countries or working experiences discussions remained mostly in an abstract academic way • some participants left the discussions when others with more comprehensive analyses entered • participants read and found useful the material for their own purposes, but decided not to join the discussions • user-friendliness of the chosen platform might not have been high enough • the courses turned out to be very useful for those participants who were specializing in topics related to the course contents.
