Projects: New Practices in Flexible Learning: Online Learning for Healthy Communities

Online Learning for Healthy Communities
Dorothy Lucardie

This project explored the use of new flexible learning practices in remote Aboriginal Primary Health Care Services.

These practices, such as web and email, interactive multimedia, music and theatre, were used in order to address issues related to: remote areas, Aboriginal communities and language and literacy.

The Building sustainable practice: engaging remote Aboriginal communities project key objectives were to:

  • trial the use of music, theatre, interactive multimedia and Internet technologies (web, email and discussion forums) with Central Australian Remote Health Development Services (CARHDS) participants in town and out bush
  • develop processes to establish and continue to use these methods over the long term, and
  • develop skills in CARHDS Educators and Aboriginal Health Workers to use these methods for in service education and training and for community health education.
