This document discusses the design of information and communication technology (ICT) innovations to empower teachers and school managers in low-resource settings. It proposes a "Class Journal" concept to serve as a 21st century classroom register that records student and teacher interactions. A prototype was collaboratively developed and tested. The document advocates a hybrid approach combining the Capability Approach framework, which focuses on individuals' meaningful choices and agency, and Design Thinking practices, which employ empathy and prototyping to address problems in a process-oriented way. By balancing these approaches, the hybrid method seeks to design technology that enhances user capabilities while avoiding potential new power imbalances.

This document discusses IS innovation for agriculture advisory services in Ghana. It finds that IS innovations have progressed through three generations: (1) providing basic access to information and organizing existing resources, (2) increasing interaction through multimedia and modifying actions through single-loop learning, and (3) enabling information and knowledge sharing through double-loop learning. Key enabling and constraining factors include infrastructure, organizational norms, and traditional oral culture. Sample first generation IS artifacts include GIFEC's CICs and GAINS' question and answer system, while second generation examples are Esoko Scout and third generation is Talking Book knowledge exchanges.

He was called "Pérotin the Great" and is known for composing organum, where he added voices above and below Gregorian chant to create harmonies of perfect fourths and fifths. Pérotin began writing organum with three and four voices, using rhythmic modes for the upper voices and techniques like voice exchange. One of his most famous works is Viderunt omnes, composed in 1198.

The document discusses different types of medieval era compositions including:
1) Lauda - simple Italian devotional songs composed for private use with a verse/refrain format.
2) Church dramas - biblical stories set to monophonic melodies for soloists and chorus, often associated with liturgical feasts.
3) Monophonic compositions were divided into four periods including St. Martial known for two-voiced organum styles, Notre Dame known for liturgical works by Léonin and Pérotin, and Ars Antiqua which continued with rhythmically active upper parts set to French texts over chant-based lower parts.
Medieval chant
