Summary

Program goals

We design and develop high-quality video and animation to help train health workers more effectively in low-resource settings. We feature: safe up-to-date standards of care that are practical for low-resource settings, good production values, and instructional design that convey information in an accessible way. We distribute them widely through open access on the Internet, where they can be streamed or downloaded for offline use. They are intended to be complementary tools for pre-service and in-service education.

Key program components

We use professional filmmakers to shoot in developing world clinical settings. Our content is based on international guidelines, with review by global content experts. We field-test the videos among frontline health workers. Animation clips are added to bring out teaching points. We use voice-over to enable them to be narrated in many languages. We make them brief, and use close-ups so that they can be viewed clearly on the small screens of mobile devices.
