Undergraduate Course on Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) 2005-6

Awarded a Royal Holloway, University of London, CollegeTeaching Prize for 2006

This is a third year specialist undergraduate course (GG3077), led by Professor Tim Unwin in the Department of Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. Links to relevant course material are available as follows:

• Aims, learning methods, and skills
• Course outline, Autumn Term 2005 (Lectures, practicals, tutorials, seminars)
• Assessment details
• Alumni profiles

There is also an on-line discussion forum, intended for students undertaking the course, but visitors from outside the university are also very much encouraged to participate. This can also be accessed under the Geography Forums on the Royal Holloway, University of London Campus Connect online discussion site. We have recently suffered much spam abuse on this forum, and so are now requiring users to register. Please contact tim[at]ict4d[dot]org[dot]uk for further information about this option.

In 2005 Cisco Systems generously provided an internship for a student successfully completing this ICT4D course.

Course materials are being made freely available globally through this site as part of the ICT4D Collective's commitment to using ICTs appropriately in support of the world's poor and marginalised communities.
