Health is a critical issue which deals with people’s lives in a large scale
so lack of health information can lead to a massive tragedy. One of
LaPorte’s big concerns is to tackle the “information deficiency” in
developing countries. But it is not easy since there are major barriers to
people accessing the Supercourse lectures in poor countries. The greatest
challenge is "reaching the last mile" to disseminating health information.
How do we reach those in the poorest, remotest parts of the world to whom
this information might be life saving? Supercourse developer believes that a
community might pay people to become “microinformation brokers.” They would
download information from a computer many miles away and then share their
new knowledge back in the community. |
