James BonTempo replied to Phil Marston's discussion FrontlineSMS for Community Health Education in Malawi in the group Education"Hello, Phil :) Sounds like you're working on some stuff that's similar to what I've been doing lately.
From an instructional design perspective and performance support perspective, you might be interested in reading something I…"
Isaac Holeman replied to Phil Marston's discussion FrontlineSMS for Community Health Education in Malawi in the group Education"Hi Phil,
To some extent it depends on who you want to reach, and how, in addition to SMS, you are reaching them. The poorest of the poor rarely have any airtime, they may keep a phone so that they can be called and so that they can…"
Phil Marston replied to Phil Marston's discussion FrontlineSMS for Community Health Education in Malawi in the group Education"Thanks for your response Isaac,
Sounds like you're just the guy I need to speak to!
I'm curious about the reimbursement issue - if we were able to setup a community based education initiative (health and agriculture) that helped people…"
Isaac Holeman replied to Phil Marston's discussion FrontlineSMS for Community Health Education in Malawi in the group Education"Hi Phill,
I've worked extensively with FrontlineSMS:Medic (http://medic.frontlinesms.com) throughout Malawi and can offer feedback on the local context. You are on the right track with SMS and/or voice services - they are available broadly…"

Sorry which report are you referring to?

Phil Marston replied to Phil Marston's discussion FrontlineSMS for Community Health Education in Malawi in the group Education"Thanks Scott, the MTC txt plan sounds great - I hope there's something similar in Malawi - I've been particularly concerned as to whether the end users would find the high volume txting that might be part of an interactive educational tool…"
Ruth Goode replied to Phil Marston's discussion FrontlineSMS for Community Health Education in Malawi in the group Education"Hi Phil
I don't know if you've seen this report, but I thought it might be useful to see what other health care providers are doing with cell phones in Africa.
