Surveys for needs

In April, 2003, Audio-Visual Fair was held to grant a chance for LRC’s partners to present their audio-visual materials and products to staff of LRC and Hue University. This proves to be necessary to obtain general points of view in definition of LRC’s source of materials afterwards.
Information acquisition for Institutional Reconstructing Project in higher education was what we performed in May, 2003.
In June, 2003, we implemented a survey on a large scale into computer-based activities and needs among Hue University members. The survey focused on students, teachers and post graduates.
In collaboration with Cheer for Vietnam, we, in July, 2003, did organize Vietnam Teacher Training Program to strengthen English teaching skills for teachers in Hue high schools and universities.
What we have conducted are still in LRC preliminary framework in exploring readers’ need and at the same time broadly advertising our image.
