Abstract

In this chapter, the authors present the Network of Digital Production Centers, a modular, scalable scheme for the development of educational and cultural content in schools and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. The chapter describes its goals, philosophy, its operations, and its growth plans, as well as the results achieved during the first phase of its implementation. The authors frame the project within the overall objectives of its funding institution, the Ibero-American Network for Sustainable Development, an NGO that began this project with the goal of transforming traditional content consumers into developers and producers of educational and cultural digital materials. The learning curve in the field of user multimedia production is steep, but the Network of Digital Production Centers and the Ibero-American Network for Sustainable Development are harvesting the first set of tangible benefits and usable knowledge.
