ICT a Medium for Advocacy and Development Communication
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used as a medium for advocacy and development communication. It defines advocacy as supporting people to express their views, access information and services, and promote their rights. ICT is defined as the infrastructure that enables modern computing, including all devices, networks, applications, and systems. The document discusses how ICT has helped drive globalization and can promote human development through distance learning and connectivity. It also explains how ICT can empower participation, promote government transparency, and support the maritime industry through communication. In conclusion, ICT is presented as an effective medium for spreading information in support of advocacy and development goals through its wide reach and ability to facilitate the exchange of ideas on social
ICT as a Platform for Change
Social media has the potential to be a force for both good and evil. It can enable positive social change and advocacy by allowing rapid coordination of large groups, as seen with the million person march against pork barrel in the Philippines organized on Facebook. However, social media also enables the rapid spread of misinformation and abuse, as seen with the Catholic church facing lawsuits over child abuse that went viral online. While social media allows for communication across distances, it has also taken over people's lives and enabled fraud and self-centeredness and broken relationships. Overall, social media is a tool that can mobilize groups for

This document summarizes Steven Clift's presentation on e-democracy and civic engagement. Some key points include:
- Clift has been working in the field of e-democracy since 1994 when he created one of the first election information websites.
- Social media has both positive and negative impacts on civic participation and democracy. It can empower citizens but also spread misinformation and isolate like-minded groups.
- Local online spaces are important for connecting citizens, representatives, and issues in a specific community. When combined with in-person engagement, they can strengthen representative democracy.
- Moving forward, opportunities exist to better share what works across communities, close data gaps around local governance, and get citizens

ICT For advocacy and Developmental Communication
This document discusses advocacy and how information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used as tools for advocacy. It defines advocacy as actions that support or argue for a cause and outlines several examples of advocacy work, including organizing, educating, researching, informing, encouraging, training, lobbying, and taking actions. It then discusses developing an advocacy strategy, outlining nine questions to consider, such as identifying goals, stakeholders, and effective communication channels. Finally, it discusses different ICT tools that can be used for advocacy, including social media, blogs, RSS feeds, instant messaging, and text messaging.

Jeffrey A. Hart from Indiana University presented a paper at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association in San Diego, California in April 2012. The paper discussed how different international relations theories like realism, liberal institutionalism, and constructivism approach issues related to information and communication technologies (ICTs) and cybersecurity. It argued that theories need to better account for how ICTs impact the diffusion of information, empower non-state actors, and potentially transform power structures and identities. The paper also examined questions around how ICTs influence globalization processes and production networks.

Digital Media Activism by Sharhad Haneef
Internet activism uses communication technologies like websites and email to enable faster communication between citizen movements and deliver messages to large audiences. It aims to promote issues like human rights, environmentalism, and marginalized communities. The internet is a key resource for independent activists, especially for reporting human rights violations from repressive countries. Internet activism is used for fundraising, lobbying, community building, and organizing both online and offline activities. While effective and reproducible, it also faces challenges like connecting the online and offline worlds and issues of elitism. Examples include activism on social media that helped organize protests in Egypt and Tunisia.
E-Democracy Meets E-Journalism (Transparency, Engagement)

Cst group project#2, intro++
The document discusses issues around internet censorship including the controversies surrounding censorship and differing views on whether restricting certain materials benefits society or limits freedom of expression. It also outlines the mission of the Global Network Initiative to respect freedom of expression and privacy through frameworks to ensure accountability of internet and communication technology companies. The debate around internet censorship and what role, if any, governments should play in regulating online content remains ongoing.
ICT and Social Responsibility
This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for advocacy and development communication. It notes that ICT for development, or ICT4D, uses ICT to benefit less fortunate groups and enable societal progress. Key factors for successful ICT4D projects are community support, utilizing ICT platforms, and targeting issues like poverty, education, healthcare or governance. The document then provides examples from Philippine history where social media and ICT helped enable non-violent social movements, including People Power revolutions in 1986 and 2001, as well as the 2013 Million People March protest.
Digital divide
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to computers and the Internet, and those who do not. The digital divide is related to three types of capital: social, knowledge, and human. Lack of digital access prevents the development of social networks and communication, access to online education, and the ability to enhance skills. Potential solutions proposed include providing free Internet access in public places and schools, as well as subsidized broadband and devices for low-income households.
Online Platform Tools for ICT Content Development
Online tools can be used to create and share ICT content. These include presentation tools like Prezi and PowerPoint, photo editing tools, online collaborative platforms, blogs, and content management systems. Social media has the potential for social change by promoting advocacy, sharing information, and encouraging discussion. As internet access has grown in the Philippines, more people can participate as digital citizens through access, communication, commerce, literacy and etiquette online. Responsibilities include security and upholding digital laws and rights.
Globalisation
Globalization refers to the integration of goods, services, and culture among nations accelerated by advances in technology. While globalization allows businesses to access new markets and expertise worldwide, firms face challenges from infrastructure differences, regulations and customs. The "digital divide" describes unequal access to technology, which Nielsen categorizes into an initial economic divide, later a usability divide, and ultimately an "empowerment divide" where few leverage technology's full capabilities.

P2P government: public purpose and the bounty of the commons
This document discusses the potential for peer-to-peer (P2P) approaches within government. It notes that digital technologies allow for near-zero costs of production and distribution, changing expectations around participation. P2P approaches could empower citizens through open data and co-production, sharing power where appropriate. The document advocates experimentation, rapid prototyping, and focusing on outcomes over processes to support innovation within government.
LECTURE 6 - Cyberculture
The document discusses several topics related to democracy and the internet, including how electronic technologies can impact private spaces and democratic rights, how online communities like Second Life and social media can promote activism and discussion, and debates around public versus private spheres in digital spaces. It also examines issues of surveillance, control of online spaces, and the potential for the internet to reinvigorate public discourse.
The digital divide
This document discusses the digital divide in the United States and worldwide. It is divided into several sections that cover the digital divide among socioeconomic groups, in rural areas, based on age, in third world countries, developing countries, and developed countries. Key points made include that low-income Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, and disabled individuals have less access to broadband. Rural areas also have less access and choice for high-speed internet. Developing countries have the largest gaps in internet access and participation in the digital economy.
Fr Reflections about Politica digital
After discussions on participatory democracy, online tools for young people and politicians, there are issues to address going forward, such as how to effectively use these tools to engage and empower people to participate. While there are global economic and political crises, the users now have an opportunity to take control of networks, as they did previously to return the internet to its original open and free form. Moving forward, work is needed to encourage sharing and connection through networks to build new models and construct participatory democracy based on networking and sharing.

International politics in the age of the internet
The document discusses how the internet has affected international politics in several ways:
1) It has given individuals and non-state actors greater ability to organize and express views, as seen during events like the Arab Spring.
2) It has increased transparency of governments and institutions through tools like blogs, YouTube, WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden's leaks.
3) However, it has also allowed greater government surveillance of citizens' online activities.
4) The rise of cyber warfare and threats to cyber security are new issues governments must address.
LECTURE 5 - Cyberculture
The document discusses various topics related to surveillance, including Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon model of surveillance, increased surveillance of both public and virtual spaces, and examples of creative practitioners using online strategies to critique surveillance and globalization. It also shares several news articles about issues like government censorship of Wikipedia, data breaches at the tax office, and a student cracking the government's internet porn filter.
The Network Society : Manuel Castells
Castells argues that the development of new information and communication technologies has led to the emergence of a network society. Key aspects of this network society include the creation of far-flung social networks sustained by ICTs, the restructuring of economies to accommodate open markets, and cultural movements promoting freedom in the late 20th century. Castells also discusses how networks involve nodes that can receive and send messages, how they stretch across boundaries, and how power can be difficult to locate within networks.
Politics and social media
Lecture showing how different political actors use social media and the role such media is having on political life.
The State of Social Justice and Digital Media in Africa
The document discusses the state of social justice and digital media in Africa. It covers several topics:
1) The political and social context in Africa in the 1990s that led to the emergence of civil society organizations and new avenues for expression through the internet.
2) How civil society in Africa has utilized newer forms of social media and citizen journalism, though access remains limited due to low internet penetration on the continent.
3) The challenges African civil society faces in engaging digital audiences and overcoming the "digital disconnect" between online activists and offline communities. It provides examples of tools and best practices for effective digital activism.

Revitalizing democracy - the power of online tools
The document discusses how new technologies can help revitalize democracy by reducing information inequalities. It profiles several civic technology organizations that are developing tools to promote government transparency and public participation. These include platforms for online deliberation, freedom of information requests, reporting local issues, and monitoring elected representatives. While technology alone cannot improve democracy, open-source tools provided by civic groups and businesses can support innovative practices and shift power dynamics if adopted by governments. Overall, the document is optimistic that grassroots democratic innovations made possible by new information technologies have potential to positively impact official political processes.
The Impact of Civic Technology Conference, MIT GOV/LAB presents at TICTeC 2015
This document summarizes research on how different framings of political news articles influence civic engagement in Kenya. Researchers randomly assigned Kenyans to read articles about county government misspending framed as either an opportunity, threat, or neutrally. They also included a "bandwagoning" message about others taking action. The outcomes measured were sharing on social media or signing a petition. Preliminary results found the threat framing with bandwagoning message had the highest rates of civic actions taken by Kenyans.
Open Media = Better Democracy
The document discusses how the internet has transformed communications and democracy by giving users more control over information than ever before. It argues that protecting an open internet is crucial for democratic participation and that current policies will determine whether the future of media and democracy remains open or closed. The advocacy role is to organize around principles of access, openness, innovation and choice to legally protect a neutral internet that is affordable and fosters innovation for all users.
Group Political Communication In CMC
This document discusses the advantages and history of using computer-mediated communication (CMC) for political purposes. It outlines how CMC allows for easy and wide-ranging political communication, as well as new forms of civic engagement like online petitions and activism. However, it also notes challenges like the digital divide and risks of hacktivism and how terrorists use the Internet to spread propaganda.
ICT4Peace: Beyond the hype
This document discusses the potential and challenges of using information and communication technologies (ICTs) for peacebuilding efforts, particularly in Sri Lanka. It notes several systemic problems in Sri Lanka that limit the effectiveness of ICT4peace initiatives, including inadequate local language content and infrastructure issues. It also emphasizes that technology alone cannot guarantee better peace processes and that context is important to consider. The document provides several examples from around the world of how ICTs have been used in peacebuilding and conflict resolution efforts.

It concludes by discussing emerging technologies and how they may redefine concepts like privacy, trust and participation in the future.
Making localism a reality
The document discusses how elected officials can better engage with citizens using new technologies and the concept of co-production. It argues that representative democracy needs to change to reflect an increasingly networked society. Some engagement strategies proposed include using social media like Facebook and Twitter, holding virtual meetings and surgeries, opening up government data and processes, and collaborating with digital activists and online communities. The goal is for elected representatives to build relationships with constituents over the long term through more transparent and participatory governance.
New Voices: Online citizen participation trends and opportunities (Finland)
Minnesota has a history of being an early pioneer in computing but was later wiped out by personal computers. The first indoor shopping mall and Post-It notes were both invented in Minnesota. While internet connectivity rates in the US are high overall, certain groups such as those without a high school diploma or over 65 are less connected. Online civic participation and political discussions tend to involve those who were already engaged offline and are more polarized online. Lower income individuals and minorities participate less in civic communication and actions online, exacerbating existing participation gaps. Neighborhood online forums have potential to increase local civic engagement but need to reach a broader spectrum of the community.

Examples are given of individuals and organizations successfully utilizing social media including sharing stories, leveraging influencers, educating supporters and inspiring action on issues. The document encourages non-profits to focus on visual storytelling, current events, solutions and engaging followers to promote their causes online.
Internet Censorship across the World
This document discusses internet censorship and the role of governments. It notes that governments worldwide are trying to control the flow of information on the internet. It outlines some of the collaborative and regulatory mechanisms used by governments to influence internet content, such as working with pro-government individuals and other nations/organizations, as well as implementing laws and policies to block or restrict access to certain websites and applications. The document provides some examples of internet censorship practices in countries like China, South Korea, Myanmar, and European nations.
The Largest Democracy - India
The document discusses India's potential for electronic democracy (e-democracy) through citizen engagement using social media and mobile technology. It outlines the VOTERS framework for e-democracy, which stands for verifiable, open, transparent, empathetic, responsive, and sensitive. Recent anti-corruption protests in India engaged millions of citizens online and off to demand reforms. If implemented, the VOTERS framework could help the government become more transparent, responsive to citizens, and accountable through open consultation and access to information online.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
