"Developed by the International Institute of Educational Planning (IIEP) and designed for guided self-instruction, these twelve modules are intended both for planners – especially those working in central units of the Ministry of Education – and for administrators involved in the development of ... textbooks at its various stages. The modules cover financing strategies, costing/programming, design, production, quality control, distribution and use, as well as management of the publishing process. Module 8 provides an introduction to desktop publishing. The modules “propose a methodology which should enable the participants to analyze a situation at any given time and to identify specific solutions to propose to decision-makers.” A Trainer's Guide is included, as is a simulation model (on diskette) for Module 3: Quantifying Needs."
