The course was designed for both young and experienced researchers, as well as for healthcare professionals, mostly from malaria-endemic countries. Its objective is to provide participants with a broad knowledge of all features of malaria, to improve their skills in project management, to break geographical isolation by using the Internet as a source of documentary information. This six-week course makes use of concepts of andragogy and problem-based learning, i.e. a relationship between participants and tutors, which promotes a process of exchange rather than the simple transmission of knowledge, where participants have to search actively for information. This approach to training, combined with the wide background and experience of those involved, creates positive dynamics and enables participants to acquire new skills, develop their critical and analytical abilities. This paper describes the course and the lessons learned from its evaluation. specialized MADAGASCAR 052ANOPAL 7 80 [5 ] 2008 1475-2875 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010042609 10.1186/1475-2875-7-80 1475-2875 [F B010042609] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010042609 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers17-09/010042609.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2008-06-27 2022-09-11 fdi:010042609 fre
