Successful cancer control communications and research must reflect an understanding and appreciation of the importance of cultural, linguistic, and literacy needs of diverse audiences. The Cancer, Culture and Literacy Institute, a National Cancer Institute-funded R25 educational project, blends traditional learning approaches with distance learning methodologies to reach demographically dispersed cancer control researchers with new knowledge and skills on culture and literacy. We report here the distance learning component of the project.
A Web-based learning management system was developed that consisted of three elements: (1) educational modules, (2) communications, and (3) resources.
Results from 64 doctorally prepared participants demonstrated high satisfaction with the content, high usefulness of materials, and very good to excellent stimulation of thinking.
Distance learning offers a promising and appealing vehicle for communicating cancer control skills, interventions, and best practices, and thus has the potential to impact the appropriateness of cancer communications, research, and education.
成功的癌症防治宣传与研究必须体现对不同受众的文化、语言和读写能力需求的重要性的理解与重视。癌症、文化与读写能力研究所是一个由美国国立癌症研究所资助的R25教育项目，它将传统学习方法与远程学习方法相结合，为人口分布分散的癌症防治研究人员提供有关文化和读写能力的新知识与技能。我们在此报告该项目的远程学习部分。
开发了一个基于网络的学习管理系统，该系统由三个要素组成：（1）教育模块，（2）交流，以及（3）资源。
64名具有博士学位的参与者的反馈表明，他们对内容高度满意，认为材料非常有用，并且对思维的激发效果非常好甚至堪称卓越。
远程学习为传播癌症防治技能、干预措施和最佳实践提供了一种前景广阔且颇具吸引力的手段，因此有可能影响癌症宣传、研究和教育的适宜性。
