If you have a project which uses radio and the internet as a catalyst for community learning and development, I would be happy to include details in my presentation if you send the information on any case studies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] BRIEF PRESENTATION ABSTRACT Interactive Broadcasting is an emerging phenomenon which could provide new opportunities for creative radio broadcasting both for entertainment and education, and could create new business models for commercial sustainability. Early examples of interactive broadcasting included telephone chat shows which now extend to text messaging and email as tools to stimulate audience engagement and provide low cost content. There are some pioneering schemes emerging in which sophisticated interactive broadcasting techniques are a fundamental development platform for radio broadcasting. THE Radio with Pictures Show is an example of integrating web conferencing with radio broadcasting to create a rich and interactive audience experience with great potential for educational applications and addressing digital divide issues see <http://www.hcln.net/hfm/radioflyer.htm> Another example is Radio Browsing as used by Kothmale Radio in Sri Lanka a community radio station which uses the internet to engage its audience in both determining and creating program content see <http://www.kothmale.net/> This presentation describes the Interactive Broadcasting concept and shows examples of how it can be used in practice.
