Short Summary |
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO)/The Association for Progressive Communications
(APC) Multimedia Training Kit (MMTK) provides trainers in telecentres,
community media organisations and the development sector with materials
to assist in the use of newer technologies or to 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. 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. All MMTK materials are released under a Creative Commons
license which allows their free use and distribution for non-commercial
use. A limited number of MMTK CDs will be available - please contact
mmtk@apc.org for more information. |
