SIL values learning together: sharing knowledge, co-creating resources, and innovating collaboratively.
The letters EMDC have a historic meaning that was associated with an annual gathering. EMDC is now considered to be more of a "noun" than an acronym of associated meaning.
EMDC has been a multi-agency consultation that meets annually. It is intended to be a secure venue where minority language workers, Bible translators, literacy workers, language development workers, and “others”, can meet with media specialists (including radio, TV, internet, mobile), IT technicians, recording specialists, graphic artists, and specialists in Orality and EthnoArts (arts, drama, dance).
EMDC is about
Follow-up and Scripture Engagement ● Orality & Storytelling ● Scriptures by Mobile Phone ● Scripture Apps ● Scripture Games ● Using Social Media/Networks ● Video & Audio Production ● Creating Video Animation ● Discovery Scripture Studies ● Scriptures and Trauma Healing or Substance Abuse ● Ethno and local arts ● Culturally Correct Forms of Distribution ● Distance Biblical Ed in your language ● Digital Publishing ● DMM ● Minority Language Translation, Distribution, & Literacy
The Digital Training Library (DTL) is an online learning platform designed to provide guidance, training, and knowledge to the Bible translation industry’s network of translation specialists to improve quality assurance for the entire Bible translation movement.
