SUMMARY:ICT4D Seminar 2017
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, 28th March 2017 at 10am – 11am\nLocation: Örebro University\, Nova N2043 \nWelcome to our ICT4D Seminar Series. The ICT4D seminar in 2017 will be held at Örebro University on 28th March from 10am to 11am. \nOur guest speaker at the seminar is Prof. Mohamed Ally from Athabasca University in Canada. He is Vice-President of International Association for Blended Learning (IABL) and acting chair\, Centre for Distance Education at Athabasca University. \nTheme: Flexible delivery of education through mobile learning \nAbstract: The use of mobile technology provides flexibility to deliver education. There has to be a sense of urgency to transform education using mobile technologies. This is critical since the young and upcoming generations of learners are using emerging technologies on a daily basis and they will demand that education and learning support be provided using these emerging technologies. Innovative pedagogical models need to be in place where learning is learner-centered. For example\, problem-based learning can be used to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Learning materials can take the form of games to challenge students so that they can be motivated to learn. A variety of delivery formats can be used. Mobile learning can be used to deliver education to students anywhere and at any time. The blended learning approach\, which combines face-to-face instruction and mobile learning\, can be used to provide flexibility in learning. The flipped classroom can also be used where students learn the theory outside the classroom using learning technologies to access the information and develop the high level and affective skills in the classroom or lab where the teacher is available to provide guidance. Students can also download mobile learning apps to learn anywhere and at any time. They can use mobile technology to access Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) at their own convenient time to further develop their knowledge and skills. This presentation will describe how mobile learning can be integrated in education to transform education for the new generations of students and provide education for all.

DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers and Participation \nIn conjunction with the 3rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD2009) 17 – 19 April 2009\, Doha\, Qatar\, http://www.ictd2009.org \nIPID (the International Network for Postgraduate Students in the area of ICT4D) together with GSHCID (Graduate Students in Human-Computer Interaction and Development) are organising a workshop for “young” researchers to be held on Friday 17 April 2009 8:30am – 5:00pm at Carnegie-Mellon’s campus in Doha\, Qatar. \nFocus: The focus will be on the process of ICT4D research giving the participants an opportunity to discuss and reflect on various aspects of such research. \nProgram: The workshop aims to provide an informal forum where participants can share their research experiences\, initial findings and ideas in a supportive peer-environment. The area of ICT4D includes a wide range of fields of studies. By attending the workshop participants can share and reflect on their research findings as well as on their own experiences in ICT4D research. \nThe morning session senior academic researcher’s panel is now confirmed and includes: Professor Tim Unwin\, UNESCO Chair in ICT4D\, Royal Holloway\, University of London\, Dr. Michael Best\, Georgia Institute of Technology\, and Dr. Chris Coward\, University of Washington. \nFormat: Participants will be asked to read everyone’s position papers in advance\, to maximize face-time at the workshop. The morning session will include presentations of short papers of between 5-10 minutes followed by feedback from both the participants and invited senior academic researchers. The afternoon session of the workshop will revolve around small breakout group discussions\, structured around themes to be decided with participants via email prior to the workshop\, followed by a closing discussion among all attendees. Intended Audience: The workshop will be open to all “young” researchers in the area of ICTD/ICT4D. We use “young” broadly to reflect the vibrancy of ICTD as a new discipline\, in which we strive to create an inclusive workshop atmosphere where all researchers whether they are students\, recent Ph.D. graduates or even senior researchers with a track record in other fields who view themselves as “young-at-heart” researchers congregate to learn from one another about how to do research in the nascent field of ICTD. Space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. The morning session will be more generally across ICTD topics\, the afternoon session will have a greater focus\, though not restricted to HCI issues. \nSubmissions: If you’re interested in attending\, submit a short position paper (no longer than 4 pages) describing your prior ICTD research experience and your views on the challenges of ICTD research\, and mail it in PDF format to yrictd@gmail.com by March 1st for review. \nImportant Dates: \n\nSubmission of short papers: 1 March 2009\nNotification of acceptance: 15 March 2009\nWorkshop: 17 April 2009\n\nCost: Workshop attendance is free for ICTD2009 conference attendees. \nAttendees however have to be registered for ICTD2009 to attend the workshop\, or apply for a waiver. \nAttendee Sponsorships: There are very limited sponsorships and waivers for workshop participants.

SUMMARY:Blended technologies for development 1
DESCRIPTION:Report from the first one-day course on “Blended technologies for development”. \nOn Monday January 26th we were 23 IPID members that visited Ericsson in Stockholm for a full day education on Mobile technologies for development. \nEricsson started the day by sharing their view on what is happening in the field of M4D. They told us about their work with the Millennium villages and their project “Communication for All”. Recent trends and applications were discussed as well as the challenges and opportunities they see for the uptake of mobile phones. The major challenges they perceive are: infrastructure\, affordable services\, regulation and taxation. Solutions suggested mainly concerned the lowering of energy consumption – solar and wind power have produced some astonishingly good results. Furthermore\, many personal stories of people in developing countries were presented to show how the use of mobile phones has managed to increase both their quality of life and income. \nThe most popular themes for the day were\, however\, the practical\, hands-on demonstrations that we were given. The first demonstration took us on a historic journey from the very first telephones to the first “mobile” phone (not so mobile actually) up until today. \nThe second demonstration was in Ericsson´s Site City where we were physically introduced to different solutions for base-stations\, antennas and power supplies. The Site City enabled us to see these solutions in a real life setting\, which highly deepened our understanding. After this we were demonstrated the future trends within mobile technology including a miniature beamer that projected what you had in the phone extremely well. \nAfter a long\, informative and entertaining day we were all very satisfied with what we had learned.

SUMMARY:Graduate course in development theories September 2008
DESCRIPTION:“Development\, Globalisation and ICT: Defining the ’D’ in ICT4D” \nIPID and Karlstad University invited IPID members to a graduate course in development theories. The course was offered due to several requests from IPID members about an introduction in development theories and a wish to define ‘D’ in ICT4D. \nCourse description: \nTo provide a solid background for advanced studies in ICT4D\, this course offers insights into some of the most influential development theories. The selection is made on the basis of classical bodies of ideas with a strong impact on recent notions of development. The course moreover illuminates development theory from various angles\, especially the perspectives of different social sciences. It will also investigate development theory in relation to the process of globalization. \nOthers: \nThe first set of seminars was held in September 2008\, over two days. During these seminars\, invited guest lecturers provided an overview of the course literature\, which was discussed with the students. \nAfter the first set of seminars the students will write a paper on her/his research on ICT4D in relation to ‘development’\, based on the course literature. This paper will serve as part of the examination. The participants will return to Karlstad in January 2009. During this second set of seminars the papers will be discussed and peer reviewed. The students will be divided into 3 groups with each lecturer as their supervisor. Each student present and discuss their paper for 30 minutes. The examination seminar is finalised with a discussion of 60 minutes. \nLecturers: \nPeter Smekal \n\nPhD\, Department of Government\, Uppsala University\nDevelopment theories\nHistory and Roots\nModernisation theories\nThe Classics\n\nAnders Danielson \nPhD\, Ministry for Foreign Affairs\, Stockholm \n\nEconomics and Development – Changing Views\nThe Elusive Poverty\nDo Economists Know What To Do?\nWhat Can Economists Do?”\n\nPaula Uimonen \nPhD\, Department of Social Anthropology\, Stockholm University \n\nTheories on ICT and modern development\nGlobalisation\nICT4D Policy and WSIS 2003\, 2005
