"Two projects to produce learning aids are being implemented. The first is a textbook factory (a graphical industry) which at full capacity will have an annual output of some 30 millions books. The second project is also designed to produce learning aids, mainly plastic, metal and optical products.

Both projects have received financial assistance from Sweden." (GIZ Library Bonn)

iscussed are the cultural and social factors of book reading and publishing in Africa; a frank explanation as to why indigenous publishing has trouble getting started; the mechanics of acquiring library materials - African and otherwise; the role of government; the role of Christian publishing houses; and the problems faced by writers, distributors, and booksellers."

"This guide provides educational planners with an awareness and understanding of communication satellite technology, its current uses, and some of the tentative plans for educational experimentation. The first part introduces the general nature of communication satellites in terms of technological c

ategories, basic economics, and evolutional processes. A detailed description of International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (INTELSAT) gives an up-to-date picture of an operational communication satellite system. The last part reviews ongoing and proposed experiments that could help revolutionize education over the next two decades. Eight national and international projects are described, in terms of general objectives, scope, cost, software, and evaluation. It is hoped that the satellite experiments will provide answers to many of the questions that communication experts, educators, and engineers have asked about the operational feasibility of using satellites in developed and less-developed countries. But the author also cautions that future success in this field depends not only on satellite technology per se but also the success of program content." (https://eric.ed.gov)

"Media for instruction can be characterized as big (expensive) or little (inexpensive), but research evidence suggests that whether a student learns more from one medium than another depends at least as much on how the medium is used as on what medium is used. Thus, this report discusses not only ex

ample programs and their results, but also considerations involved in choices among the different possible media. One conclusion which is reached, however, is that the inexpensive media have often been neglected because of the glamor of the expensive media." (https://files.eric.ed.gov)

"The intention of this publication is to provide practical advice and guidance on the use of radio and television broadcasting in adult education.

ers, as well as broadcasting administrators and producers. Its main interest will be for readers in those countries where the use of radio and television for adult education is still in its introductory stages. The conclusions of a meeting of experts on the use of mass media in adult education organized by Unesco in November 1967 state that: ‘There is convincing evidence from projects in many parts of the world that the mass media can be effectively applied to the development of resources to meet basic economic, social, educational and cultural needs. Experience to date is sufficient proof, and the urgency of extending the scale and effectiveness of adult education is so great that the emphasis should be placed on the massive application of known media of communication to the priority tasks of all countries.’ This handbook is an attempt to sum up practical experience gained so far in planning, initiating and operating projects of various types in different countries and regions."
