made with Open Office

Dear GKD Members,

I thought you would find this recent APC resource, a "Multimedia Training
Kit," of interest.

---------------------------------------------------------------

RELEASE OF "UNESCO/APC MULTIMEDIA TRAINING KIT"

"The farmers' cooperative that uses our telecentre can never find the
information they want online. I want to offer them basic Internet training
but I don't have materials."

"A women's group I have trained has been offered a regular 15-minute spot on
a local radio show. They've asked me for a workshop on script-writing but my
experience is in writing for web, not radio."

More and more people are seeing the creative potential of linking the
Internet to more traditional communication technologies, particularly radio
and television.

A STRUCTURED MULTIMEDIA TRAINING KIT

The UNESCO/APC Multimedia Training Kit (MMTK) provides trainers in
telecentres, community media organisations, and the development sector with
a structured set of materials to help make that jump between new and
traditional media or train in a new skill area.

The materials cover a range of multimedia areas like "presenting on radio"
and "writing for the web" as well as topics such as "cooperative problem
solving". The MMTK is a growing collection, and new topics will be added in
the months to come.

Materials follow a standard format and so can be used as interchangeable
building blocks from which trainers can build up face- to-face training
appropriate for their different contexts. So, a trainer running a workshop
on information skills for a women's organisation could choose components
from the "Searching the Internet" unit and the "Violence Against Women"
module and combine them into a single workshop kit. Individuals can also use
many of the materials for self-instruction.

Each unit includes notes for trainers on running the workshop, a handout for
workshop participants, exercises, a list of additional resources, a glossary
of terms, a copyright statement and workshop and materials evaluation forms.
Many units contain additional resources such as presentations, detailed
manuals for trainers, and case studies of how the tools in question are
being used in different contexts.

FREE TO USE

All MMTK materials are released under a Creative Commons license which
allows their free use and distribution for non-commercial use.

A PARTNERSHIP PROJECT

The MMTK is a multi-stakeholder initiative involving the Association for
Progressive Communications (APC), UNESCO, OneWorld International, AMARC, the
International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD), Search for
Common Ground, Radio for Development, and the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

The MMTK was funded by UNESCO and the Rockefeller Foundation and
coordinated by APC.
