follows:
-
To educate staff who develop DFL courses
through on the job training and short/long

To improve mechanism of the operational
course development management system.
At first, long-term experts and counterparts
would assess the current mechanism and
they prioritize critical service with
big impact to improve the DFL. Then,
the prototype system will be created
to develop model courses.
-
To develop model DFL course. Based
on the Activity (b) above, experts and
counterparts will prioritize the area
of courses and the most appropriate
media, and they develop a few model
courses.
-
To enhance and expand USPNet into
Lautoka and Labasa centers. There are
three activities to improve the accessibility
