About this course
The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN ESCWA) is pleased to present its first e-learning software as part of its integrated Toolkit on Gender Statistics in the Arabic language. The Gender Statistics Toolkit, developed by the Statistics Division at UN ESCWA, includes two tools:
• E-learning on Gender Statistics
• The Gender Statistics Curriculum
The Gender Statistics E-learning Software (https://elearning.unescwa.org) is a user-friendly e-learning programme which utilizes a variety of methods to stimulate trainees’ interest in a curriculum that addresses gender issues and priorities. The Gender Statistics Curriculum includes the following five modules:
• Gender concepts and issues
• The importance of gender statistics
• The conceptual frame of gender statistics analysis
• Measurements of gender statistics
• Presenting gender statisticsThe five modules present concepts and practical examples through animated dialogues among a diverse group of characters from both sexes. To elaborate on and understand gender concepts and issues, various methods are employed, such as including clips of Arabic movies; animation of popular folkloric story into a colored cartoon, along with hands on exercises in each module.
To deal with statistics and indicators, infographic presentations are used to convey messages through charts and
images of women, men, children, and elderly, reflecting diversity in culture in a harmonious and consistent blend of animation and color. To maintain consistency between the different types of presentations used in this programme, colors in all the screens were harmonized using a flat design.Moreover, the e-learning platform can be used by individuals with functioning difficulties. Excerpts from the texts are presented under each screen to allow trainees to follow the dialogue easily.
Upon successful completion of the e-learning (https://elearning.unescwa.org), the learner will receive a certificate.
