Telecentres As Educational Models

I think telecentres should also be considered proactively as educational models, in addition to the business model concept. Vocational training for the community, adult literacy etc can be such prepossessing concerns.In fact telecentres can be the focal points for community learning, where distance education can be used with the integration of technologies.Ananya S GuhaSee More

Ananya S Guha replied to Catalina Escobar's discussion How to generate income at the Telecenter?

Ananya S Guha replied to Sandra Nassali's discussion How can community radios/media be of relevancy to their publics/audiences and communities with in their reach?

"Those involved with Community Radio Stations also need to study community profiles and assess their needs. You have rightly said that CR Stations focus on social and developmental goals. They can also be used as warning to sound out on catastrophes…"

Ananya S Guha replied to Masahudu M. Marhey's discussion Telecentre content

"I think telecentres should have two entities. The first should be the ICT part by which I mean integration of technologies: the computer, television, radio, the mobile et al. The second should be the non ICT part, where vocational training for the…"

Ananya S Guha replied to Sandra Nassali's discussion Are n't Internet cafes becoming a threat to telecentres?

"I think as yet since most of the internet cafes are in urban areas, the threat is not there. Moreover the target groups, if I may call them so for both are different so I do not think there is any such imminent threat. It is like saying a social…"

Community Facilitators

I am looking at telecentres and their functionality not only for computer literacy but also as viable study centres for educational needs. They could be termed as knowledge or resource centres. It is here I think that community facilitators could play a significant and meaningful role as counsellors. Such a model will help to augment activities such as teacher training, literacy, carreer counselling, and even inparting awareness programmes on a short term basis such as awareness on health… Continue
