program that can be accessed free of charge via the W.W.W.;
- Develop
a self-contained learning module and dissemination tool in CD-ROM
format to introduce Aymara language and culture;
- Develop an object database capable of tailoring the content of the learning program to audiences with different interests and to individuals with varying degrees of language competency.
