"Community workers in developing countries can provide on-the-ground support to encourage the general public to adopt and maintain behaviour change. This book is designed specifically as a guide for the creation of distance education programmes for these community workers. Covering the whole process of project development, it provides detailed guidance on project start-up and management, curriculum preparation, media selection - especially radio and television -, programme format choice, scriptwriting and review, programme production, preparation of support books and participant guides and methods of audience feedback. An extended section covers Internet-based distance education. The guiding principle for the preparation of distance education materials applied in this guide is the "6T" pattern, i.e.: "Telling, Teaching, Transforming, Testing, Tasking and Telling"."
