Qualitative comments
Please specify the recommendations you would make for improvement of theproject outputs and their sustainability
- Official title with credits or hours
- Certify enough number of hours
- Simple resources adapted to the initial knowledge of caregivers
- That can be taught in the Guadalinfocenters of each municipality or area
- Once the project is finished, the MOOC course should be given in all the GuadalinfoCenters through the Community Social Services of each zone.
- The hours need more than 2 hours
- The very good contents probably have a lack: that all the participants in the seminar commit ourselves to disseminate it so that they can take more advantage of our reach.
