Many INGOs are today seeking to exploit the potential of web-based learning modalities, which could reduce the costs of training to a fraction of the international face-to-face courses currently available. The modern online interactive (dialogue, tests, games) blended learning modalities (videos, simulations, lecture) combined with increasing bandwidth, mobile networks, affordability of technology makes the web-based learning facilities a highly interesting and potential alternative to international NGOs.

To develop a self-directed gamifed on-demand e-learning course on the VSLA Methodologybased on the Field Officer Guide developed by VSL Associates. The course is developed as a simulation game where the participants take part in common VSLA activities, such as group constitution, savings meetings and loans meetings. The course is highly interactive and puts a high emphasis on the user experience.

The process of the project can be divided into three main phases:

1. Concept and development;
2. Production; and
3. Testing and post-production.

Distribution of the course is done through the organizations participating in the project reference group, the project partners.
