Elearning for the Technology-Challenged

Here in the Philippines, only a small percentage of the population have access to a computer. Of these, only a small percentage have access to CD-ROMS and the internet.

If this is the case, building online courses would be useless for most.

How do you reach out to the less-priveleged?

TV and Radio. But since radio and TV stations are costly, what choice do we have?

The VCD and to a cetain extent, the DVD.

I've been to many rural areas and have noticed that many households have TV sets and quite a number, VCD or DVD players.

Filipinos love watching movies. The proliferation of pirated VCDs is a testament to that.

VCDs as Elearning? This idea might be the spark for national development.
