Media Kit for Activists

Here is a wonderful short documentary produced by Andrew Garton about a media training kit for NGOs (Non-Government Organisations) and other civil society community groups. (The video is self-explanatory).

ItrainOnline Multimedia Training Kit

The ItrainOnline MMTK is a growing collection of “workshop kits” for face-to-face training. The materials use a standard set of templates, and offer building blocks for trainers to build their own courses. But don’t think you need to be a trainer to use the ItrainOnline MMTK! The handouts are valuable information resources for anyone who wants to teach themselves about any of the wide range of topics covered.

Vannavar Bush ‘As we may think’ (1945)

In this famous article by Dr Vannavar Bush, published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1945, he outlines his vision for the 'Memex Machine', which is often seen as the intellectual precursor to hypertext and the world wide web. "The perfection of these specific instruments should be the first objective of our scientists as they emerge form their war work. Like Emerson's famous address of 1837 on, 'The American Scholar," this paper by Dr Bush calls for a new relationship between thinking man and the sum of our knowledge" (The Editor, Atlantic Monthly, 1945).
