Brian, Actually considering eContent beyond the web plaftorm is within the discussion framework. The Technological challenges represented by the 'T' in the SLEPT approach is one of the biggest barriers facing deployment of eCommunications within the restricted domain of the web-platform. And so your urge to have us think for solutions outside the web-platform is quite in order - TV, Radio, Mobile phone and other communication campaigns are a welcome consideration for discussion. Except that it means moving into the next threads "Possible eTools for Regulators". walu. --- Brian Longwe <brian@isisweb.nl> wrote:

facing Regulators who wish to efectively deploy eCommunications to their customers. Assuming the relevant eContent has been developed and is available what factors could inhibit its deployment?
my feeling so far is that we have been somewhat constrained in this discussion with the assumption (conscious or unconscious) that regulatory eContent and e-Communication is framed within a web-based paradigm.
What can you say to debunk that notion?
What can others say to bring in other "e" forms of media/distribution/ access?
What I can put in is: - Comic Book - targetted towards helping semi-literate understand what regulation is, why regulators are needed and who their regulator is - E-Book - all regulations in e-book format (a simple converter will do this from a word/PDF document). E-Books should also be
downloadable from the 'net - E-Book readers; e.g. http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/assets/itpd/ reader/ ; or any Windows or Palm PDA - Radio programme - "know your regulator" - could be a series (4-6 weeks) that is repeated twice a year - TV programme - "Communications Regulation in Kenya" for a documentary type approach; "How to E" for a youth-oriented, more lively approach - interaction with local movie/soap producers so that CCK can be a feature in their programming e.g. Inspekta Mwala and Jihoja Mahakamani really helps people understand the police, law and justice related issues
