Hello,

I would like to partner with NGOs in India. I am an educator who can offer quality, low cost online classes to elementary, middle, and secondary students. I am on the faculty of the University of Phoenix online, and I was the principal of a virtual early college. My virtual school has applied for NGO membership because we care about all children and equal education. Please contact me if I can help you.

UNU Open Courseware
United Nations University launches the UNU OpenCourseWare Portal, which offers open access to about a dozen courses developed by three of UNU's Research and Training Centres and Programmes (RTC/Ps) and the Tokyo-based UNU Media Studio. The intent of the UNU OpenCourseWare Portal is to make the course materials used by UNU RTC/Ps available on the web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world. The initiative is not meant to replace degree-granting higher education or for-credit courses, but rather to provide content that can be used by educators for curriculum development, by students to augment their current learning resources and by individuals for independent self-study. The topics currently covered include e-governance, economic development and innovation, mangrove biodiversity and integrated watershed management. More courses are in production and in 2008, additional UNU units will participate in this initiative which promotes open sharing and global benefits for self-learn

Hello Anita, and thank you for your reply. It is a wonderful movement and one that requires a paradigm shift, in our society and in our teaching, thinking and acting. The huge shift from books to the knowledge machine of the internet will transform our society. In evolutionary and media ecology it is like a spear given to a forager, or a plow to a hunter, or books to all the people where before only the priest could read. ICT4 Emergence and Development require a new pedagogy if we are to succeed in attaining the MDG's, especially in the brief window we have available to achieve these goals. The comments below from Anil about credibility point to this need, as the skepticism that Sameera encountered in his post in the ICT4D group, about eating computers. With all of your help I would like to try to develop and support this movement with a solid philosophical and epistemological foundation. It seems to me there is then an appropriate and distinct pedagogy which would help accelerate the movement, and a methodology to deliver the results. In this way some tools can emerge to dramatically address these criticisms and skepticism. Well, this is my hope anyway.

Comment by ANIL on January 7, 2009 at 11:50pm

Hi all,
During my recent delibration with one Sr. ICT4D Experts, reservation were rasied abt the credibility of ICT movement including CSC of Govt of India. Are we (ICT4D) community is really able to give back to the society what they need, or just busy with blogs, e-Discussion, Mega and gala global shows, discussing the same old issues without moving in the right and required directions. Can we quote good examples, move with collaborative efforts wihtout creating hype and show results at grassroots level and lets get direct feedback from community involved.

Jan, it is the idea that the digital revolution has the potential to be more inclusive and reach all of India's people. The goal is for a grand alliance - of governement, civil society, research, academics, private eterprise and the corproate sector to work togther to ensure this. The implementation of this is through Knowledge Centres in villages, small towns and remote areas, where people have less access to information and services.

Comment by Jan Herder on January 7, 2009 at 8:41pm

Hi, I am wondering what the epistemological and pedagogical foundation is for this movement?
Thanks!
Jan
