Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication (CARIMAC) will for the first time offer three of its courses online through a partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the University of the West Indies Distance Education Centre (UWIDEC). The courses to be offered are Community Media, Online Journalism and Information/Media Literacy. The courses in Community Media and Online Journalism will begin in September 2007.
