A
A
It's
a
network
confirmed
by
six
tiger
education
institutions,
one
for
each
country
in
Central,
America
and
Dominican
Republic.
We
share
our
interests
about
early
grade
literacy
and
we
are
working
together
since
2018
in
improving
the
educational
setting
on
the
region,
and
we
want
to
share
with
you
today
how
our
journey
is
using
goha
for
our
virtual
library
is
since
the
site
of
the
users,
how
we
are
using
koha
to
promote
learning
communities
and
how
it
also
is
helping
us
to
promote
a
network
from
the
libraries
from
each
of
these
universities.
A
So,
as
I
was
saying,
we
are
working
together
in
improving
our
educational
settings
on
on
Central
America
and
the
Caribbean.
Our
Center
of
operation
is
in
Guatemala
in
Universidad,
Del,
Valle
de
Guatemala,
but
also
we
have
parts
of
our
team
in
El
Salvador.
Some
of
them
are
in
Honduras
and
others
are
in
the
other
countries
and
the
on
the
region.
A
We
work
in
relay.
We
work
in
many
areas,
even
when
egl
is
our
core
activity.
We
also
doing
a
research
related
with
a
teacher
training
programs
also
with
Early
Childhood
teacher
training,
and
how
are
these
programs
are
improving
or
not
the
abilities
or
the
skills
for
our
children
to
read
and
write?
We
organize
a
different
activity
related
to
knowledge,
mobilization
as
well,
and
we
help
to
ministers
on
education
and
secretaries
of
Education
to
develop
educational
policies.
A
We
also
use
our
virtual
library
in
developing
communication
process
not
only
for
the
Ministers
of
education,
but
also
for
the
practitioners,
teaching
trainers
and
and
higher
education
institutions,
and
also
we
have
on
the
on
our
virtual
library,
also
many
different
resources
that
they
researchers
can
use
on
educational
research
activities.
We
also
put
a
some
of
them
available
for
doing
some
search
activities
and
they
can
access
and
consult
it
in
in
very
different
ways,
and
koha
has
been
a
central
for
this
activity
on
our
virtual
library.
A
Through
our
virtual
library,
we
provide
access
to
contextualized
evidence
for
researchers,
practitioners,
parents,
teacher
trainers,
higher
education
institutions
to
give
them
access
to
information
that,
if
not,
that
the
way
there
are
no
any
other
way
that
they
can
access
to
it.
We
also
support
research
processes
through
our
virtual
library
in
which
they
can
consult
documents.
They
can
use
it,
but
also
we
give
them
a
some
kind
of
mentorship
or
support
in
that
they
they
can
doing
better
research
processes.
A
We
also
support
researchers,
teachers
and
practitioners,
as
was
doing
I
I
was
saying
about
how
they
can
improve
their
activities.
They
are
developing
in
the
in
the
region.
Most
of
them
are
implementing
some
development
projects
related
with
how
can
improve
educational
practice
on
schools,
communities
and
also,
we
have
into
our
virtual
library
some
specialized
repositories
on
egl
that
was
developing
many
years
ago,
and
we
are
keeping
them
updating
to
give
the
practitioners
and
researchers
the
most
accurate
and
and
update
information
about.
A
A
So
we
need
at
the
beginning
and
a
space
to
save
and
to
to
keep
all
these
educational
resources
after
it,
koha
was
helping
us
to
support
the
needs
of
documentation
and
training,
because
we
are
starting
developing
a
formation
and
workshops
and
other
activities
related
with
the
with
teacher
training.
So
so
koha
was
a
very
useful
resource
to
us
to
help
and
support
this
documentation
and
training
activities,
and
nowadays
we
are
evolving
and
go
help
us
to
provide
information
and
specialize
evidence
to
conforming
learning
communities.
A
Yeah,
okay
goha
is
also
help
us
in
our
virtual
library
to
access
to
a
specialized
information.
It's
very
important
to
say
that
relay
is
a
unique
Network
specialized
on
egl
in
the
region.
So
before
us,
many
of
these
resources
even
doesn't
exist,
or
even
they
are
spread
about
all
the
region.
So
on
one
of
the
most
important
activities
was
to
keep
them
all
of
them
together
and
conforming
it
at
our
virtual
library,
giving
them
researchers
and
practitioners
the
opportunity
to
gather
all
the
resources
in
one
in
one
place
always
as
well.
A
Allow
us
to
share
and
disseminate
evidence
that
we
build
together,
there's
the
most
recent
evidence
and
also
help
us
to
improve
educational
quality
on
a
challenging
region.
It's
very
important
to
say
that
the
last
results
of
the
standardized
test
on
Earthsea,
if
leaded
by
UNESCO
in
2018,
was
not
very
good
for
all
the
region.
So
this
give
us
the
one
more
reasons
to
keep
working
in
a
region
to
improve
early
literacy
indicators.
A
Also,
a
koha
is
facilitating
the
access
to
these
resources
because
it
is
a
an
open
system
allowing
us
to
share
resources
in
the
network
and
also
give
us
flexibility
to
adapt
all
the
resources
to
the
needs
of
our
users,
even
for
interest
for
thematics
areas
or
even
for
activities.
When
we
are
developing
some
of
them.
We
chose
the
resources
that
we
have
in
in
our
virtual
library.
I
put
them
resources
to
the
access
for
the
for
the
practitioners
or
the
teachers
who
are
interested
in
so
we
we
are.
A
We
have
there
also
two
specialized
repositories
when
we
have
all
the
resources
and
researchers
that
we
are
found.
We
found,
and
also
with
the
people,
links
to
the
digital
resources
there,
and
we
made
for
them
more
easier
to
find
resources
and
to
look
at
the
the
specific
information
they
are
looking
for.
A
We
also
develop
a
libraries
network
with
partner
universities.
This
has
been
a
very
well
received
activity
from
the
University's
conforming
relay,
because
even
when
we
are
a
network
from
higher
education
institutions,
we
also
confirm
a
network
from
the
libraries
from
this
hybrid
education
institutions
inside
go
home.
A
So
for
us,
it's
very
important
to
keep
promoting
these
Partnerships
and
the
sharing
of
a
specific
interest
related
with
egl
also
may
allow
us
to
guard
specialized
evidence
on
early
literacy
in
the
Central
America
and
the
Caribbean
that
as
why
I
was
saying
that
was
not
exist
before
also
allow
us
sharing
resource
with
other
libraries
to
contribute
to
contribute
to
knowledge,
mobilization
and
I.
I
have
to
say
that
a
knowledge
mobilization
activities
was
very
unique
and
and
important
from
the
region,
because
there
are
not
so
much
experience
before
that
experience.
A
A
A
Okay,
so
relay
and
related
Library
keeps
working
to
build
a
region
that
reads
and
writes
who
is
challenging
in
Central
America
and
the
Caribbean,
and
we
are
very
glad
to
goha,
is
a
very
important
partner
with
us
in
this
in
this
purpose.
So
thank
you
for
having
us
and
thanks
for
listening
me
and
and
give
him
the
opportunity
to
share
our
experience.
