Mother-Child Protection Card
Computer Based Training [CBT]
 |
Provide a monitored, consistent, and expedited health
worker training process, including a certification program, for the
Mother Child Protection Card. The CBT will accelerate the current pace of
training to health workers by using over 1,000 computer literacy centres
throughout Maharashtra. This will provide a better learning experience
through interactive computer exercises, and, when necessary, give the
option to complete an individual training module at a modified pace.

Mother-Child Protection Card
Programme Activities:
The Government of India has standardized the health information a mother
receives upon the birth of a child in the form of the Mother Child Protection
Card. The benefits received from this card are greatly dependent upon the
training of health-care providers, who must teach and reinforce its messages,
and instruct mothers on how to use the card. In the current training, health
workers receive a guide book to be used as a reference book by
these functionaries of health and ICDS (Integrated Child Development Schemes)
to focus on children under three.
The components are
The current process of classroom trainings, however, will take several years
for health workers to have learned the programme, and these trainings do not
include a certification process to ensure the quality of knowledge a health
worker has acquired.
This programme addresses the need to provide a monitored, consistent, and
expedited health worker training process, including a certification program,
for the Mother Child Protection Card. The CBT will accelerate the current
pace of training to health workers by using over 1,000 computer literacy
centres throughout Maharashtra. This will provide a better learning
experience through interactive computer exercises, and, when necessary, give
the option to complete an individual training module at a modified pace.
Using Education to Home (ETH), an already existent and functioning
educational network, local health workers, regardless of their computer
proficiency, will be accommodated and taught the contents of the guide book
currently being used. However, the CBT will be quicker, monitored, more
consistent, contain more interactive exercises, and will allow a vehicle for
certification of health workers.
The ETH model, devised to reach every nook and corner of the country, is an
innovative one. The delivery of quality, niche content, and practical classes
at the Local Learning Centre (LLC) is simple, and has the greatest reach.
Course materials are bundled in a user-friendly manner. Also, the bundling is
such that even those who are novices in the Internet world shall be able to
overcome the fear of technology. The simplicity of the ETH Educational
Environment shall ensure that the digital divide is bridged.
To put this in a simple perspective, we have packages called the E-Cube,
which is a troika of courses that seeks to make our mission, helping
education reach homes at the click of a button or by meeting with the
counsellor at our network of learning centres. Also, the flexibility of the
nature of the education that we offer is the sure shot method of making
education a total activity. It does not require various specifics, like in a
usual educational institute where you have timetables, fixed exams dates etc,
for you to study our courses.
The model is simple. ETHRL is seen as the mother station where various
software services and solutions, which include quality content, are produced
in a user-friendly manner. The appeal lies in it being palatable to a vast
cross-section of people.
Upon the start of training, each health worker will have to log on to
eth.net and register. They
will be instructed throughout this process. Each health worker will get a
login ID. With the help of this they can appear for any tests they have to,
at a convenient time. There are no pressures to handle--therefore learning is
unhindered. We aim at making the student a practical thinking one.
Health workers are free to choose the closest LLC to their location. To find
out the nearest LLC, eth.net
has a list of centres closest to the user-specified location.
At this point in time ETHRL’s vehicle of taking the various courses to your
doorstep is widely accepted as the most effective method. Also our course is
far more affordable than many online education sites. Besides the ease of
affordability, an average student requires to clock 50 hours to fare well in
the exam. Also the immediacy of the formative course is another attraction –
you appear for an online test and get your results immediately. For those in
doubt, please refer to the views of our students who have benefited highly
though they are from such stations in life where computer literacy is a
distant dream. Basically, our thrust is to demystify the computer and make it
what it is – a smart machine that saves the human intellect much needed time.
This in turn, will expedite the training process of health workers, who will
teach mothers, and therefore save the lives of children throughout
Maharashtra.
Exam Management
Online and on-demand examination at the centre, which is local (near) to the
end learner with the proper control and the security, is the major plus point
of E-Cube.
ETH Service Provider
This actually deals with the partnership within Network i.e. the ESP offers
it's content / course on E-Cube. ESP can offer education activities also.
E-Cube provides a platform on which ESP can manage its service and
educational activities.
Intended Results:
The CBT programme provides a training where health workers will be trained
quicker, in a more consistent manner because of the standardized nature of
the computer modules, and with a process that can certify them upon
successful completion of the course. The additional benefits are, if
necessary, health workers can complete individual modules at their own pace,
they can complete the course from their own home if possible, and they will
be provided with training that is more interactive than the previous of
sitting in lecture room with 40 other people. Health workers will be better
trained, with a process that certifies their skills, more confident, and more
motivated to do their job.
Programme Management and Implementation:
The state of Maharashtra, UNICEF, and HETV will work together with ETH, the
health care providers, and those currently providing the training of the
guidebook to forge the necessary partnerships for this programme.
Programme Monitoring and Evaluation:
The state of Maharashtra, UNICEF, HETV, health care providers and mothers
will all take part in the monitoring and evaluation of this programme.
