The ASEAN Committee on Consumer
Protection (ACCP) launched the Consumer Online Distance Learning Tools, a
self-paced learning course on four basic consumer protection topics,
free for registered users.
The e-learning modules cover topics
such as (i) Understanding Consumer Issues (ii) Becoming a Consumer
Champion (iii) Building a Consumer Movement, and (iv) Mediating
Disputes. The modules aim to promote “consumer champions” to advocate or
campaign for consumer rights. Participants can take part in all lessons
and quizzes, and obtain a certificate of completion at the end of each
module.
The
e-learning modules, launched at the 3rd ASEAN Consumer Protection
Conference, are consistent with Deliverable 4.1.5 of the ASEAN Strategic
Action Plan for Consumer Protection 2025. Additional e-learning modules
will be added to the system in the coming years.
The
development of the ASEAN Consumer Distance Learning Tools or the
Learning Management System (LMS) for e-Learning is supported by the
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH,
under the “Consumer Protection in ASEAN” (PROTECT) project.
