Our Impact
Reflection and documentation are important factors in innovation and quality improvement.
Over the last decade our staff have produced a substantial archive of information material, academic articles and evaluation reports - demonstrating our long-standing involvement and expertise in rich learning media to access hard-to-reach populations.
Below are links to some of these publications relating to our activities in technical developments, cultural consultations, legal considerations, health content development, entrepreneurial initiatives and business cases.
