Item PAN - Bangladesh : final technical report(Grameen Bank, Dhaka, BD, 1999) Grameen BankItem Virtual Information Center for Management Development, 1998 - 2000 : final report(Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad, IN, 2000)Item Place of hope : connecting people and organisations for rural development through multipurpose community telecentres in selected Philippine Barangays; a learning evaluation(Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, Manila, PH, 2001) Harris, R.W.; Philippine Council for Health Research and DevelopmentThis learning evaluation is part of the process to produce practical guidelines for the establishment of a sustainable network of multipurpose community telecentres (MCT) in Philippine barangays and, in the short term, to provide an input for decisions regarding the extension of the project and follow-up activities. The Philippine MCT project piloted the concept of rural development using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Among important outcomes, the project has successfully coordinated various government agencies towards the installation of four telecentres in Mindanao. Transcripts from centre interviews are provided.Item Final report of PAN - Tibet Project(Tibet Academy of Agricultural and Animal Sciences, Lhasa, CN, 2003) Tibet Academy of Agricultural and Animal Sciences; Tashi, N.; Yang, Y.Item Distance learning technologies : deploying Canadian and Southern technology engines to build an Asian research network(Athabasca University, Edmonton, AB, CA, 2004-08) Baggaley, J.P.Item Self assessment for distance learning : self tests(National Medical University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, MN, 2005) National Medical University of MongoliaItem Post-tsunami reconstruction aid to distance education in Aceh & Nias : final technical report(Universitas Terbuka, ID, 2005) Tian BelawatiItem Livelihood with Kaka : laundry bar soap(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem Clean water, safe environment for my healthy school : a module for hygiene and sanitation in schools(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem Health and hygiene at home : a module for hygiene and sanitation at home(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem Your health is in your hands : an introduction to health, hygiene and sanitation; a module on health and hygiene(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem Boîte de Pandore : un nouveau modèle pour l'éducation en Asie(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2006) Waldick, LisaItem Health and hygiene in farming : a module for hygiene and sanitation in farming(Molave, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem ICTs for health services in rural Mongolia : final technical report(Health Sciences University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, MN, 2006) Amarsaikhan, Dashtseren; Oyun, S.; Batpurev, B.The Doctor system and distance learning system were developed for Mongolia’s unique situation. Five rural areas were selected for telemedicine. A total of 700 trainees attended, 163 physicians associated with the distance learning system, 37 physicians associated with the Doctor system, and 83 patients were advised regarding their diagnoses and treatments. This report provides detailed analysis of a successful programme. The project created the initial base for telemedicine and medical distance learning in the Mongolian health sector.Item Your health is in my hands : a module for hygienic food preparation(Molave development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006)Item Technology - supported distance non-formal training and education in water, sanitation and hygiene (Philippines) : final technical report, Jan. 2004 - July 2006(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development Foundation; Ramos, Angelo Juan O.Item Distance education technology in Asia : 1. past and present(Virtual University of Pakistan, Lahore, PK, 2007) Ahmed, Sheeraz; Amarsaikhan, Dashtseren; Attygala, Dilhari; Baggaley, Jon; Belawati, TianThe overall project became known as ‘PANdora’. See [www.pandora‐asia.org] This volume is the first collection of conclusions from existing Pan Asia Networking PANdora projects. The content covers: Accessibility, Acceptance and Effects of Distance Education in South Asia; E‐learning in Chinese Schools and Universities; Distance Education Technologies in Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, and Viet Nam (along with distance education policy); Evaluations of Distance‐based Delivery Methods; Training and Assessment in Distance Education; and E-Learning assessment. National issues are covered in the last chapter.Item Technical evaluation report 60 : the world-wide inaccessible web, part 1 - browsing(Athabasca University, Edmonton, AB, CA, 2007) Baggaley, Jon; Batpurev, BatchuluunTwo studies are reported, comparing the browser loading times of webpages created using common Web development techniques. The loading speeds were estimated in 12 Asian countries by members of the PANdora network, funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) to conduct collaborative research in the development of effective distance education (DE) practices. An online survey tool with stopwatch-type counter was used. Responses were obtained from Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. In most of the survey conditions, browser loading times were noted up to four times slower than commonly prescribed as acceptable. Failure of pages to load at all was frequent. The speediest loading times were observed when the online material was hosted locally, and was created either in the Docebo learning management system (LMS), or in the HTML option provided by the Moodle LMS. It is recommended that formative evaluation of this type should become standard practice in the selection and use of online programming techniques, in order to preserve the accessibility of the World-Wide-Web across large geographical distances, as for DE in the developing world.Item Technical evaluation report 61 : the world-wide inaccessible web, part 2 - internet routes(Athabasca University, Edmonton, AB, CA, 2007) Baggaley, Jon; Batpurev, Batchuluun; Klaas, JimIn the previous report in this series, Web browser loading times were measured in 12 Asian countries, and were found to be up to four times slower than commonly prescribed as acceptable. Failure of webpages to load at all was frequent. The current follow-up study compares these loading times with the complexity of the Internet routes linking the Web users and the Web servers hosting them. The study was conducted in the same 12 Asian countries, with the assistance of members of the International Development Research Centre’s PANdora distance education research network. The data were generated by network members in Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Additional data for the follow-up study were collected in China. Using a ‘traceroute’ routine, the study indicates that webpage loading time is linked to the complexity of the Internet routes between Web users and the host server. It is indicated that distance educators can apply such information in the design of improved online delivery and mirror sites, notably in areas of the developing world which currently lack an effective infrastructure for online education.
