The etuktuk project was highlighted by a recent publication from AED as an access solution in the telecentre movement.
Three organizations, the Academy for Educational Development (AED), Microsoft® Corporation and IDRC’s telecenter.org collaborated to develop this book, Making the Connection: Scaling Telecenters for Development. Two AED staff, Barbara Fillip and Dennis Foote, were the principal authors of the book. Other AED staff contributed content, developed the published version and created this HTML version. Also, many of the case studies presented in the book are from projects that AED’s Information Technology Applications Center has carried out over the last two decades. Microsoft® provided the funding for the writing and publishing of the book and to develop and host the HTML version for the web. Microsoft® staff also contributed case studies from projects that they are supporting around the world and provided invaluable insights to improving the book’s narrative. The professionals at IDRC’s telecenter.org program also contributed significantly to this book by providing case studies, suggestions for enhancing the narrative and feedback to make the publication more effective
Making the Connection: Scaling Telecenters for Development – This book identifies and discusses the most pressing issues facing the global telecenter movement, presents a condensed view of the current state of knowledge with regard to telecenters, and highlights possible paths forward. The book was developed through a partnership between the Academy for Educational Development, Microsoft® and IDRC’s telecenter.org. The primary goal of this book is help people move forward, to inspire them and whenever possible, to guide the growth of this movement.
