Italian term

depliant/spot

Italian to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy educational materials
Progetto depliant/spot "title of the presentation"

I have seen spot in the glossary as "spot" but I'm not sure about that. Is there a more frequently uses UKEN term?

I'm assuming it refers to publicity/educational material in print and AV form.

Any suggestions on a good current UKEN translation for the above?
