Draft agenda

The main suggestions made by the participants  the audio should be improved for the next event, finding other software for audio conference such as Skype and TeamSpeak  the instructors should wait few seconds before start talking since there is a time delay between the instructor slide and the participant slide  Previous training with VISITview and Yahoo tools, prior to the event  the lectures should give more emphasis on the African continent  Basic bibliography should be mentioned This was a list of main suggestion from the participants of training activities.
