Edutainment Sample Clauses

Edutainment. ‌ Mobile health interventions are becoming increasingly reliant on edutainment techniques, a combination of education and entertainment, to capture the end-user’s attention and make the information presented more accessible. Edutainment has a lengthy history through traditional mass media like plays, radio, television, and film among others (Xxxxx & Trna, 2007). The medium has historically offered education somewhat indirectly but has now come into the forefront of how educational interventions in global health are designed. An example of this is a randomized controlled trial called Project Accept, which was designed to test the efficacy of community mobilization, mobile voluntary counseling and testing, and post-test support services in reducing HIV incidence in three African countries and Thailand. The researchers introduced the community mobilization strategy mid-study, HIV/AIDS edutainment, which led to a considerable increase in the number of participants, particularly younger people (Kawichai et al., 2012). Another study in South Africa found similar results, in which edutainment techniques used by the Shout-It-Now (S-N) program were found to contribute to an increase in HIV counseling and testing rates over an 18-month period (Xxxxxxx et al., 2016).

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
