Distance
Learning and Resource Center - Update
Kristus Center is actively working
to expand and fully develop our resource center in Papua
New Guinea. This same plan will be implemented in other
developing communities such as Abatan Hospital in the Philippines.

- Create initial information pages
that contain content and images of culturally relevant
health, disease prevention and nutrition topics
and issues for Papua New Guinea. Links related to
these issues will also be included. This will be
accomplished with the use of currently available
software including Front Page and Dream Weaver.
It is anticipated that the first pages will be available
on the Kristus Web site by June 15, 2005.
- The next phase will be the addition
of a Kristus Newsgroup that will enable Kristus
members in the US, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines
as well as community member in these two countries
to discuss issues and topics of interest and concern
over the Web. This function will be available by
June 30, 2005.
- During the final quarter of 2005,
a course will be added to the Kristus Web site that
will introduce first time users of the Web to the
basic information and skills necessary to make use
of not only the Kristus Web site but other useful
links to the Internet.
- Depending
on the number of users of the Resource Center and
the Web Use Course by the end of 2005, Kristus is
prepared to convert its Web pages into a fully functional
Learning Management System that will enable the
organization to plan, develop and implement a variety
of courses, discussion groups and resource sites
in the first or second quarter of 2006.
