 All over the world, smallholder farmers often struggle to provide enough quality feed for their livestock. That's why our scientists created a set of electronic forms known as the Feed Assessment Tool, or Feast, to help development workers collect and analyze data about local feed resources then identify promising interventions to improve farmers' access to quality feed. The designers packed Feast with powerful reports and utilities for calculating the composition of livestock feed, nutritional content of animals' diets, herd composition, farmers' household income, seasonal trends in rainfall, land devoted to fodder cultivation, market prices for commercial feed, and more. But while Feast was packed with useful features, many of the development workers using it had limited experience with software-based tools of this kind. To address this challenge, IL-RE developed a learning initiative to train users in key skills, applying principles of instructional design and e-learning to help the staff of partner organizations to take full advantage of Feast's powerful features. We tweaked our existing training materials by applying principles of instructional design and adult learning theory. New, on-site classroom training materials were developed, including computer-based activities, field exercises, and group projects. We also added numerous opportunities for open discussions so learners could take ownership of the learning experience and discover key concepts for themselves. In addition to the revised course materials, a detailed instructor guide was created to help partner organizations conduct their own classroom sessions, empowering partners to train new staff members on the Feast tool as needed. Phase 2 of the initiative involved making the revised training materials available in a self-guided online format, expanding the reach of the program, and making it even more convenient for partner organizations to adopt the Feast tools and methodologies. And for regions with limited Internet connectivity, e-learning activities and videos are also offered on a standalone USB player, allowing learners to complete activities and track results without the need for Internet access. By providing the staff of partner organizations with better training to make better use of the Feast tool, the new learning initiative is helping farmers around the world achieve better lives through livestock.
