2) BBC Janala in Bangladesh provides low-cost English language lessons by phone, reaching over 1.5 million users in under a year.
3) Plan CEIBAL in Uruguay aims to provide laptops to all primary students and teachers to promote ICT use, and has now expanded to secondary education. It shows commitment and adapting technology to the local context are key to effective ICT-enabled development.
The document summarizes several case studies of alternative development communication approaches in India, including the Satellite Instructional Television Experiment (SITE), the Kheda Communication Project, and the Jhabua Development Communication Project (JDCP). SITE was a large-scale experiment conducted in 1975-1976 that demonstrated the potential of satellite technology for instructional television broadcasts to rural villages. It involved installing TV sets with satellite dishes in over 2400 villages across 6 states. The Kheda Communication Project from 1975-1990 used television to produce participatory development programs involving local audiences. The Jhabua Development Communication Project since the 1990s has used satellite communications to broadcast development-focused content produced locally in Jhabua district to meet rural information needs.

Pakistan also uses radio successfully for educational programming through Allama Iqbal Open University.
1. Television has become an integral part of education and plays a dominant role in the learning process by facilitating diverse learning objectives and motivating learners.
2. Educational television in India began in the 1960s with projects like the Secondary School Television Project and Delhi Agriculture Television Project. Major national projects include Satellite Instructional Television Experiment, Post-SITE, and INSAT.
3. Television provides valuable reference materials for teachers and students, demonstrates real-world processes and events, and makes education more engaging through audiovisual content from experts. However, it also risks passivity, lack of interactivity, and replacing teachers.
GyanDarshan and GyanVani are educational TV and radio channels in India that provide educational content. EDUSAT is an educational satellite launched in 2004 to provide interactive distance education across India. It has revolutionized classroom teaching through IP technology.

This document discusses various Open Educational Resource (OER) initiatives in India. It describes initiatives by the University Grants Commission - Consortium for Educational Communication (UGC-CEC) which produces educational television programs and content. The National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT) aims to leverage ICT to enhance access, equity and quality in higher education. The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is a joint initiative of IITs and IISc which provides free online courses in engineering, science and other subjects.
The Programme of Action (POA) of 1992 aimed to implement the National Policy on Education (NPE) of 1986 in a revised manner. It envisioned conducting a common entrance exam on an all-India basis for admission to professional programs. Key features included promoting education for all through measures like equal access, adult literacy programs, vocational education, and emphasis on early childhood education, education for women and minorities. The policy strengthened primary, secondary and higher education as well as emerging areas like open universities and technical education.
This document discusses the use of mass media approaches in educational technology. It describes mass media as impersonal communication to large groups through various channels. Common mass media used in education are printed materials, radio, television, and other electronic media. Radio and television are identified as the most commonly used mass media due to their ability to reach wide audiences simultaneously. The document then provides specific examples of how radio and television have been used in education in India and other countries to deliver content like adult education programs, school supplements, and vocational skills training. It also discusses some technologies derived from radio and television like radiovision, multimedia packages, and video tapes that combine audio and visual channels to deliver educational content.
BROADCAST MEDIA-UNIT 1-INTRODUCTION TO BROADCAST MEDIA-8621-AIOU-B.EDEqraBaig
Here are potential responses to the assessment questions:
1. Broadcast media refers to the transmission of audio and video content through radio frequencies to a widespread audience simultaneously. It is a one-way communication medium.
2. The nature of broadcast media is that it can disseminate information to a large, geographically dispersed audience simultaneously. It has the potential to promote mass education and reduce disparities in access to information and learning opportunities.
3. The key characteristics of broadcast media are its ability to reach wide audiences, transmit standardized content, control the dissemination of information, and provide low-cost education at scale. However, it lacks interactivity.
4. Radio can be utilized for distance education in Pakistan by developing educational

It then covers marketing decisions for retailers related to target markets, product assortment, store services, pricing, promotion, and store location. The document also discusses wholesaling, including the functions of wholesalers, types of wholesalers, and marketing decisions faced by wholesalers.
This document discusses marketing channels and channel management. It defines marketing channels as sets of interdependent organizations that make a product available for use. Channels perform important functions like information gathering, stimulating purchases, negotiating prices, ordering, financing inventory, storage, and payment. Channel design considers customer expectations, objectives, constraints, alternatives that are evaluated. Channel management includes selecting, training, motivating, and evaluating channel members. Channels are dynamic and can involve vertical, horizontal, and multi-channel systems. Conflicts between channels must be managed to balance cooperation and competition.
The document discusses integrated marketing communication and its various elements. It defines integrated marketing communication as combining different communication modes like advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling, and direct marketing to provide a complete communication portfolio to audiences. It also discusses the communication process and how each element of the marketing mix communicates to customers. The document provides details on the key components of an integrated marketing communication mix and how it can be used to build brand equity.
Pricing is a key element in determining the profitability and success of a business. The price must be set correctly - if too high, demand may decrease and the product may be priced out of the market, but if too low, revenue may not cover costs. Pricing strategies should consider the product lifecycle stage, costs, competitors, and demand factors. Common pricing methods include penetration pricing for new products, market skimming for premium products, value pricing based on perceived worth, and cost-plus pricing which adds a markup to costs. Price affects demand through price elasticity, with elastic demand more sensitive to price changes.
The document discusses various aspects of branding such as definitions of a brand, brand positioning, brand name selection, brand sponsorship, brand development strategies like line extensions and brand extensions, challenges in branding, importance of packaging, labeling, and universal product codes. It provides examples of well-known brands and analyzes their branding strategies. The key points covered are creating emotional value for customers, building relationships and loyalty, using brands to project aspirational lifestyles and values to command premium prices.
This document outlines the key stages in the new product development (NPD) process. It begins with generating ideas for new products, which can come from internal or external sources. Ideas are then screened using criteria like market size and development costs. Successful concepts are developed and test marketed to customers. If testing goes well, the product proceeds to commercialization with a full market launch. The NPD process helps companies focus their resources on projects most likely to be rewarding and brings new products to market more quickly. It describes common challenges in NPD like defining specifications and managing resources and timelines, and how to overcome them through planning and cross-functional involvement.
A product is an item offered for sale that can be physical or virtual. It has a life cycle and may need to be adapted over time to remain relevant. A product needs to serve a purpose, function well, and be effectively communicated to users. It also requires a name to help it stand out.
A product hierarchy has multiple levels from core needs down to specific items. These include the need, product family, class, line, type, and item or stock keeping unit.
Products go through a life cycle with stages of development, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Marketing strategies must adapt to each stage such as heavy promotion and price changes in introduction and maturity.
This document discusses barriers between marketing researchers and managerial decision makers. It identifies three types of barriers: behavioral, process, and organizational. Specific behavioral barriers discussed include confirmatory bias, the difficulty balancing creativity and data, and the newcomer syndrome. Process barriers include unsuccessful problem definition and research rigidity. Organizational barriers include misuse of information asymmetries. The document also discusses ethical issues in marketing research such as deceptive practices, invasion of privacy, and breaches of confidentiality.
The document discusses best practices for organizing, writing, and presenting a marketing research report. It provides guidance on structuring the report with appropriate headings, formatting the introduction and conclusion/recommendation sections, effectively utilizing visuals like tables and graphs, and tips for an ethical and impactful oral presentation of the findings. The goal is to clearly communicate the research results and insights to the client to inform their decision-making.
This document discusses marketing research and its key steps and methods. Marketing research involves collecting, analyzing and communicating information to make informed marketing decisions. There are 5 key steps in marketing research: 1) define the problem, 2) collect data, 3) analyze and interpret data, 4) reach a conclusion, 5) implement the research. Common data collection methods include interviews, surveys, observations, and experiments. The data is then analyzed using statistical techniques like frequency, percentages, and means to interpret the findings and their implications for marketing decisions.

The government requires public revenue to fund its political, social, and economic activities. There are three main sources of public revenue: tax revenue, non-tax revenue, and capital receipts. Tax revenue is collected through direct taxes like income tax, which are paid directly to the government, and indirect taxes like sales tax, where the burden can be shifted to other parties. Non-tax revenue sources include profits from public enterprises, railways, postal services, and the Reserve Bank of India. While taxes provide wide coverage and influence production, they can also reduce incentives to work and increase inequality.
Public expenditure has increasingly grown over time to fulfill three main roles: protecting society, protecting individuals, and funding public works. The growth can be attributed to several causes like increased income, welfare state ideology, effects of war, increased resources and ability to finance expenditures, inflation, and effects of democracy, socialism, and development. There are also canons that govern public spending like benefits, economy, and approval by authorities. The effects of public expenditure include impacts on consumption, production through efficiency, incentives and allocation, and distribution of resources.
Public finance involves the taxing and spending activities of government. It focuses on the microeconomic functions of government and examines taxes and spending. Government ideology can view the community or individual as most important. In the US, the federal government has more spending flexibility than states. Government spending has increased significantly as a percentage of GDP from 1929 to 2001. Major items of federal spending have shifted from defense to entitlements like Social Security and Medicare. Revenues mainly come from individual income taxes, payroll taxes, and corporate taxes at the federal level and property, sales, and income taxes at the state and local levels.
This document provides an overview of public finance. It defines public finance as the study of how governments raise money through taxes and spending, and how these activities affect the economy. It discusses why public finance is needed to provide public goods and services, redistribute wealth, and correct issues like pollution. The key aspects of public finance covered are government spending, revenue sources like income taxes, and how fiscal policy around spending and taxation can influence economic performance.
The document discusses the classical theory of inflation and how it relates to money supply. It states that inflation is defined as a rise in the overall price level in an economy. The quantity theory of money explains that inflation is primarily caused by increases in the money supply as controlled by the central bank. When the money supply grows faster than the amount of goods and services, it leads to too much money chasing too few goods and a rise in prices, or inflation. The document also notes that hyperinflation, which is a very high rate of inflation, can occur when governments print too much money to fund spending.

This document provides an introduction to macroeconomics. It defines macroeconomics as the study of national economies and the policies that governments use to affect economic performance. It discusses key issues macroeconomists address such as economic growth, business cycles, unemployment, inflation, international trade, and macroeconomic policies. It also outlines different macroeconomic theories including classical, Keynesian, and unified approaches.
Market structure identifies how a market is composed in terms of the number of firms, nature of products, degree of monopoly power, and barriers to entry. Markets range from perfect competition to pure monopoly based on imperfections. The level of competition affects consumer benefits and firm behavior. While models simplify reality, they provide benchmarks to analyze real world situations, where regulation may influence firm actions.
This document discusses the concept of perfect competition in economics. It defines perfect competition as a market with many small firms, identical products, free entry and exit of firms, and complete information. The document outlines the key features of perfect competition including: a large number of buyers and sellers, homogeneous products, no barriers to entry or exit, and profit maximization by firms. It also discusses the short run and long run equilibrium of a perfectly competitive firm, including cases where firms experience super normal profits, normal profits, or losses.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. Media and Education.
Introduction
In December 1993, India hosted the Education for All summit, which was attended by
nine high population countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia,
Mexico, Nigeria and Pakistan. Together these countries account for more than the world's
population. The summit adopted the Delhi Declaration and Framework for Action, which
called for education for all children.
Earlier on the National Policy of Education (1986) and the
Programme of Action (1992) had resolved to ensure free
and compulsoryeducation to all children upto the age of
14 years before the beginning of the next century. In 1988,
the National Literacy Mission was launched by the late
Shri Rajiv Gandhi, which saw Kerala become the first
state to achieve 100% literacy. The National Policy on
Education was updated in 1992 to include several key
strategies which have two aims: universal access to
education by opening new schools in unserved habitations
and improved school environment.
The Total Literacy Campaign, which is the major
componentof the programme for universal adult literacy, is operational in 338 districts,
either partially or fully, spread over the states of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat,
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Punjab,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
About five million volunteers are engaged in teaching the
alphabets to about 50 million people in the 9-45 age group. It is
estimated that 15 million of them have become functionally literate. Post-
Literacy and continuing education programmes are also being
launched. The objective is to make 100 million people literate. Special
attention is being paid to the four low-literacy and high-population states of
Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, which account for
48% of the illiterate population of the country.
Technology For Innovation In Education
Information technology facilitates sharing and influencing those who are within a
2. cultural and linguistic boundary. The electronic media have high replicability and
multiplying capacity. This
3. has attracted the attention of educational planners. UNESCO has stated
conclusively that the broadcastmedia have made significant contributions to the
cause of education in many nations, both the developing as well as developed.
Many countries and a number of educational institutions, particularly open
universities in the developed countries have adopted new communication
technology in a big way. Telidon, which is a Canadian video system, is a powerful
educational tool. Cyclops another good innovation, of
television, was developed by open universities in England. The British open
universities also make wide use of television time over BBC to beam its various
television programmes. Similarly Japan and us too have well-developed ETV
service. The US public television schoolprogrammes serve teachers and students in
classrooms as well as at residences. These universities of developed countries have
embarked on aggressive marketing of their productof education and are searching
markets for their programmes particularly in developing countries by employing
communication technologies (Takwale).
Many commercial houses in India are venturing into the field of education and are
offering professional and technological courses by using communication
technologies, prominent among these in India being NIIT, APTECH and Zee
Education. They are using television, computer communication, e-mail and
networks - the Internet for reaching their students.
TELEVISION
Television has been considered to be an effective medium for spreading education.
That explains
why some of the universities of the world, such as Chinese, are named as TV
Universities. The medium of television is extremely rich, expressive and
powerful. The teacher can be seen and heard and his demonstrations and examples
can be assimilated more quickly and more easily through television. Television
has democratised education. The disadvantaged group of learners living in remote
and rural areas of the country gets the same quality of education as their
counterparts in urban areas. In the UK, the Open University uses TV for 35 hours a
week. In China, it is used for 32 hours and Canada; it is used for 12 hours a week. In
Japan it is used on a large
scale. (Haider 1998).
Doordarshan
The television was introduced in India for educational and developmental purposes by
the
government but the situation today is different. As Ms. Smith said "what matters
now to Doordarshan is survival, which means revenue, social relevance no longer
hold the place it did", and this resulted in adopting a new format. However better
approachis as put it by the CBA secretary-general; the answer to the problem
could be to impose "regulation" as it was done in Britain. The commercial
broadcasting organisations in Britain supply educational material not becauseit
was central to their core function (which is making money), but because they were
4. required to do so by regulation, it being a condition of their licence. (Countrywide
Class Room1997). However in spite of having severe competition from the private
TV, Doordarshan devotes quite a bit of time to educational programming.
SchoolTelecast
Based on the previous experiences, satellite based programmes were initiated for
schoolchildren in
1982-1983. At present regular schooltelevision programmes are produced and
telecast from Bombay and Madras Kendras. Educational programmes are also
telecast from a number of states in different languages covering both formal and non-
formal education. The software for these programmes are produced bycentral
Institute of education Technology (CIET) in Delhi and state
5. Institute of education Technology (SIET'S)in various states.
Transmission for Higher Education
On the higher education front, the country-wide classroomof UGC was launched on
15th of August, 1984 with the objectives of putting out quality education within the
reach of students in small villages and towns by acquainting teachers and students
with latest developments in different disciplines. (UGC Credo for CWCR).
The centres opened in the universities of the various states producethe programmes.
Initially, it
was broadcast1-2 p.m. 6 days a week (excluding Sunday) and from 4-5 p.m. 6 days
a week only in English. The study, carried out in February 1993, covered 27 cities
and towns, spread across 6 regions with a sample size of 15,422 persons. The study
had indicated a viewership estimated at
194 Lakhs.
Since February 1994, the timing of the programme was changed and additional slots
including Hindi transmission was introduced. The recent study (in 1997) was carried
out in 50 cities and towns. CWCR viewers accountfor 11.5% of the population of
these towns/cities i.e. the urban CWCR audience can be estimated at 218 Lakhs.
Though many of them are 'casual' viewers, frequent or dedicated viewers (4 or more
days a week) number around 18 Lakhs. A Large majority of CWCR viewers are
students from non-metropolitan towns, which is the primary target audience as
defined by CEC. Apart from the students, viewership among academicians, senior
citizens and young adults is quite significant. (CEC 1997).
The telecast also includes the University Video Lecture Courses (UVLC), besides
the Countrywide Classroom (CWCR). Theselectures were recorded in the 1980's for
narrowcasting rather than broadcasting. It was hoped that these lectures, in form of
VHS cassettes, would help
undergraduates (Madhu 1998).
Though many claims are being made about the success ofthe use of television in
education, many educationists have disputed them vigorously on the count of it
being a one way channel. Unless it
is combined with correspondenceorsome special arrangement in classroom, it is
impossible to tell how much the student has got out of the lesson. The student cannot
control the pace of lesson to
suit his needs, which is formidable handicap. Experience so far suggests that TV
stimulate teachers more than students do and hence can be of immense help in
improving a teacher's performance.
Teleconference
Teleconferencing allows interactive television with one way video and two-way
audio communication by using telephone lines. This interactive talkback technology
for distance education is used since 1991. Indian Space Research Organisation has
pioneered by conducting series of experiments for different applications with
6. different partners. The main thrust has been to add an interactive dimension
reducing the limitations of one way mode inherent in broadcasting.
CWCR carried out teleconferencing in broadcastsituation first in 1991, later in
1994 it was repeated. The entire country was connected through telephone lines.
The students and learners from all over the places including remote areas
enthusiastically participated with the help of organised viewing and individually
(Reddy 1995).
OPEN UNIVERSITY
The continuous and rapid expansion in all spheres calls for the need for updating
professional
7. knowledge and skills of the human power. This can be referred as renewing
intellectual passport. (Panday 1996). Forthe purposeIndira Gandhi National Open
University was established.
On May 20th, 1991, programmes for students enrolled in IGNOU were also
introduced thereby opening new vistas in the field of distance education.
Programmes on subjects in the syllabus of various courses including management
programmes are being telecast in Hindi and English. IGNOU has developed a
network of open universities in India called OPENET- Open Education Network.
It offers teleconferencing facility, which is based on analogue technology.
Though TV has several advantages over print materials and Radio, it is not within the
reach of common man as the sets are very expensive. Further, lack of adequate
transmission facilities and dissatisfaction with the time slot available is some of the
factors responsible for using the television sparingly.
Non-Formal Education
But television definitely has an important role to play in education, not only television
have helped
many students to pass high-school and university exams without attending school or
college, it can also impart vocational training, technical agricultural skill and of a
great help in the field of 'Adult literacy'. (Bhatia 1980).
Recently in 1996 an ambitious project called Jhabua Development communication
project has been launched by Indian space Research Organisation, which is planning
to improve literacy rate, motivate for schoolenrolment, adult education, female
literacy and functional literacy in tribal
area. (DECU 1996).
Efforts by Commercial Sector
With the rising number of channels and conceptof cable TV and Pay-TV the use of
television for educational purposehas achieved new dimensions. Today, even
separate channels are being proposed forexclusive telecast of educational
programmes. One such example is of Discovery channel. Some non-government
channels as ZEE TV, which has already entered into the field of education at
different, levels with its, channel of ZED (Zee Education).
Problem Area
The productionof software (programmes) for educational purposes is a very costly
affair, if it is
not commercial in nature, and with limited amount of funds available it becomes
very difficult to producequality programmes.
The other impediments in the success ofETV in India have been those of technical
nature. The television sets can be operated in electrified areas and large parts of the
country having irregular or no supply of electricity; the use of television is restricted.
8. Moreover, there have been problems of propermaintenance of television receiver
and the unsatisfactory reception of the programme, apart from the costfactor of
buying the television set.
Moreover, due to the pressure of time on transmission, the organisation of the
programmes is always tight. Learning through satellite is basically 'learning by
Guidance' and hence satellite has much less to offer by way of learning than by
doing and personal exploration.
Audio-Video Cassettes
9. Mobile audio-visual media including cassettes and films have come into
increasing use in development projects, because of their versatility, mobility and
adaptability. Further such media
are becoming less and less expensive as technologies becomemore and more
sophisticated. Mobile media are specifically targeted to local situations and are easily
reproduced and distributed. They lend themselves well to discussion groups,
investigation forums and to repetition, yet carry the credibility of the electronic
media and the excitement and liveliness of oral communication.
In the field of education, audio/video cassettes have an edge over radio or television,
which can be played and replayed at home by the learner at his/her will. A learner
can stop a particular tape at a point where more details are necessary and can play on
slow motion to understand a difficult point. He need not get up early in the morning
or wake up late in the night for Radio and TV broadcasts. "Theuse of video enabled
a good lecturer to be seen and heard all over the country, without having to repeat his
performance…" (M. Tyrell and R. Davies, 1980). At the moment, the video
equipment is costly in India and even in other developing countries and they are not
within the reach of most of the students. That is why audio/video cassettes produced
for each course by IGNOU are kept at all study centres and regional centres.
Students are advised to go to the nearest study centre to avail of audio/video
programmes facilities when they visit study centre for counselling (Haider 1998).
COMPUTERS
Computers today, are used not only for mathematical purposes, butare also
emerging in the new role of communication and education. Computer as a tool is
available to improve the process ofteaching and learning. Students of advanced
nations are of the opinion that the computer is best suited for revision of the course,
which had already been studied. It also stores student information required for
distance education management.
Use of computers in education has resulted in computer Assisted Learning (CAC)
and Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). A variety of computer languages, are
designed for accounting, scientific calculation, mathematical calculations etc.
Computers can be immensely useful in
providing individualised, repetitive or analogous practice to learner in problem
solving exercises as well as activities for developing a variety of skills in a training
programme.
Computers today not only assist some of the functions of education but also
emerged as a rapidly growing field known as educational computing. Computers
can play a vital role in educational management. Educational computing is going to
be part of educational management in the twenty first centuries. Computer helps in
planning; organising, leading and controlling to achieve educational goals and also
promotes process ofmeeting educational needs (Rajyaguru1998) Educational
computing applications are classified into 1.Knowedge generation 2. Knowledge
10. dissemination 3. Information management (Knezek and others 1988).
1. Knowledge generation: Digital revolution has very much facilitated the job of an
author. So far he had to write the text in long hand or get it typed from a
professional typist who would commit a number of typographical mistakes to the
annoyance of the author. Now an author can prepare his manuscript himself on a
personal computer without anybody's help and make additions and alterations in the
text as necessary. Computers have also given birth to digital or electronic publishing
called DTP, dispensing with hand and machine compositors.
2 Knowledge dissemination: The sector, which is greatly influenced by the
development of the
11. computers, is libraries. We have been witnessing a transition from library and
information service to data processing - the computing of the past to what is
currently called 'Knowledge processing'. The key tool of this speciality is the
digital computer.
3. Information management: Now most of the popular encyclopaedias,
dictionaries, bibliographies, multi-media presentations, abstracting and indexing
journals and their back volumes are coming in the handy CD-ROM format,
available at one fourth the price of a hard cover copy. One CD-ROM of 550-
MB storage capacity can store upped 2 million A4-size pages of the text besides
sound and graphics (Gupta1998).
The uses of telecommunications along with computers have completely
changed the scene in the field of information and education. Globally, the
most important superhighway is 'Internet'. Established in the United States in
1969, it todayhas over 40 million members spread over about
130 countries. It allows the individual to access 20,000 networks and thus link
up with organisations, academic institutions and research groups the world
over. Indian computers can hook-up groups with 'Internet' through NICNET of
the National Informatics Centre or ERNET of the Department of Electronics,
and other networks in operation (Kaula1997).
These technological developments, and those, which are in the pipeline, are
going to change the very complexion of libraries of all categories. These will
be called electronic libraries. Electronic libraries will becomerealities only
after all the books likely to be in demand are available on optical disks.
In India the important development in this line is an addition of Information
Library Network (INFLIBNET), which provides various universities the know-
how of commissioning computers, installing application software, providing
training and extending all possible help to start computerised operations and
networking. The OPENET provides server-based classroom. The students and
teacher communicate amongst themselves through computer connectivity by
using e- mail with audio, video or print material exchange.
The information super highways have revolutionised life in many western
countries and Japan, bringing work place to the home and making 'Virtual
Office', 'Virtual Class Room' and 'Virtual Library' possible. This has been
achieved because of the availability of high-class technology. The question is
whether it is possibleto duplicate this in developing countries. The outdated
12. telecom facilities, high costof connection, a waiting list that never ends, low
technological awareness are serious problems faced by most of the developing
countries.
