Julia Bello-Bravo: The Right to Knowledge, Gebunden

Klappentext

This empirically researched and grounded book presents a learning-systems approach for mass-scalable educational content ultimately intended for use across any language, literacy level, culture, or digital divide. The work here is based primarily on Purdue University's Scientific Animations Without Borders (SAWBO) initiative. Addressing the crosscutting issues of resilience, genders, socioeconomic status, geographic isolation, age, and other important development parameters, it provides one answer to how we (as a global development community) should address these issues to meet the SDGs globally and the good life for people and communities locally. At its core, this is a matter of making timely information available (whether by deliberate searching, word-of-mouth/"viral" redistribution, or even "stumbling" across the information, with or without personalized user-targeting)---in other words, by reproducing how the Internet already socially "works" (while avoiding how it doesn't work) to deliver information in a deliberate, reliable, and measurable way for outcomes, and especially for overcoming "wicked" development problems, attain or surpass the SDGs on-schedule, and open people's access to the good life where they live.
