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
Engaging Times 2017
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 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
Political hacktivism
Political hacktivism involves using computer hacking for political activism and protest. It emerged as a way for grassroots political groups to have their voices heard. Hacktivists believe the public has a right to information about what political leaders actually stand for and what wrongs the government has committed. Examples of hacktivism include creating protest websites, cyber squatting on domain names, defacing websites, denial of service attacks, and site redirection. While hacktivism has the potential to promote positive social change, some of its illegal actions may restrict freedom and overstep ethical boundaries. For hacktivism to have bigger impacts, it is most effective when combined with on-the-ground political activism and protest.
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.

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.
Mac Social Media And The New Publicness
This document discusses the changing boundaries between public and private in the digital age. It explores the rise of practices like "lifecasting" where people broadcast details of their personal lives. Social media has made more information available about individuals, leaving their reputations and privacy open to new risks. The document questions how willing people are to share private information publicly and what the implications are of spending more time broadcasting one's life through new media.
E-Democracy Design
The document discusses challenges with using blogs and online forums to facilitate public consultation and debate on controversial issues. It notes that the government's Digital Economy Blog attracted criticism and discussion that strayed from selected topics. It also discusses options for designing online deliberative spaces and tools to better enable civil debate on the topic of digital images of young people, including research archives, citizen juries, moderated discussions, and citizen-drafted policy summaries.
Can Internet technology still revolutionize activism?
The document discusses the 2002 Woomera2002 protest in Australia, where over 1,000 activists converged to protest the detention of asylum seekers. Protestors effectively used internet technology like independent media sites to publicize the event and involve supporters worldwide. While the protest achieved its goal of closing the detention center, the document argues that successful activism requires both online and offline coordination, with personal grassroots protests being most impactful. Experts say online advocacy like emails are only effective when paired with real-world engagement like meetings with politicians. True change comes from blending internet tools with real human interactions and pre-existing community networks.

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.
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.
Transformed media landscape - and how we can make best use of it
The document discusses how the media landscape has been transformed by the internet and new technologies. Key points include:
1. The internet has created a new form of mass-self communication that is interactive, horizontal and allows many-to-many communication in real-time.
2. Web 2.0 and social media have enabled a new form of civil society through ubiquitous communication and sharing of images, sounds and ideas.
3. Commons-based peer production has created a new economic model where large projects are completed through coordinated creative effort, often without traditional hierarchy or financial compensation.
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.

Social Media Activism
Social Media Activism (SMA) is the use of web-based platforms, applications and technologies to bring about political or social change and has the power to disseminate information rapidly and globally. It has played a central role in recent worldwide movements for change.
We discuss current trends and limitations, the main players and their changing market share, and innovations in the on-line activism arena.
Traditional players like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now being challenged by new tools and activist specific spaces.
Security concerns have led to the creation of tools such as Pidder, Crabgrass and OTR.
SMA is not always a force for good. Users must be responsible, evaluate the veracity of information and understand the potential to propagate crime.
Ultimately, SMA can only be a part of the movement for change - it still needs brave people on the streets to challenge the status quo.
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.
Infoactivism - Michł Mach
Infoactivism refers to using digital technologies and information to enhance advocacy and social or political change campaigns. It involves tactics like mobilizing people, visualizing issues, adding humor, managing contacts, simplifying complex data, and investigating and exposing information. Digital activism allows activists to spread information quickly through social media and websites, monitor events through citizen reporting, and coordinate actions online. While it provides new capabilities, digital activists must also address issues like privacy, security, and credibility of information.
Corso pisa-7 dh-2017
The document summarizes key points from a proposed "Declaration of Internet Rights" by an Italian parliamentary commission. It discusses three main rights: net neutrality, which guarantees equal treatment of all data transmitted over the internet; platform interoperability, which guarantees users' ability to access their data across platforms; and digital impact assessments, which evaluate new internet regulations' effects. The document emphasizes designing "civic media" that bring people together to collaborate, not just connecting people who already agree. It argues internet governance needs rules respecting its universal nature while balancing economic and innovation concerns.
Clay shirky
Clay Shirky argues that changes in media change the nature of public arguments over time, with significant social and political effects. He focuses on how decentralized technologies like peer-to-peer networking, wireless connectivity, and open-source development enable new cooperative structures for getting things done as alternatives to traditional centralized institutions. Shirky believes groups tend to limit themselves, and that digital networks have increased the volume of ideas and arguments in circulation worldwide.
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.
Network Society: A Presentation to the CMI Guernsey
The document provides an overview of a presentation on social media and the network society. The presentation covers several topics:
1. The history of networks from railroads in the 1800s to the development of the internet and social media.
2. A discussion on media convergence and Rupert Murdoch's influence over news production, distribution, and consumption.
3. How Barack Obama successfully used social media tools like Facebook and Twitter in his 2008 presidential campaign.
4. The role of social media in social changes in North Africa like the Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
5. Issues around who controls the internet and debate around western vs. Chinese influence online.
Importance of web 2
New media and old media are converging, allowing us to interact with both simultaneously. While we still engage with traditional media like TV and books, we now do so while also commenting on social media. This convergence has democratized the media by allowing anyone to produce and share content online, giving equal opportunity for exposure compared to traditional gatekept media. Citizen journalism and user-generated content have grown with sharing of photos and videos on sites like YouTube, though traditional edited news still dominates.
Knowledge society
The document discusses key aspects of teaching in a knowledge society, including:
1. It describes how a knowledge society differs from an information society and emphasizes the importance of universal access to knowledge.
2. It outlines new competencies needed for teachers, such as the ability to teach with technology, develop collective intelligence, and address ethical issues related to areas like digital divides.
3. It discusses scenarios for the future of education put forth by the OECD, including the potential for more networked, learner-focused models of schooling.
Social Good: Social Media beyond politics
This document discusses how social media can be used for social good beyond just politics. It provides examples of how social media is being used in the Philippines for citizen journalism, disaster response coordination, and raising awareness about community issues. It also discusses how individuals can use blogs and social media to share local stories and advocate for social causes.
Global, Mobile Internets lecture - USYD MECO3065
Global and mobile internets are created locally but have become global technologies. While the internet is imagined differently in various places, understanding its local contexts and histories is important to comprehending its role in globalization. Debate around internet freedom emerged as the internet became a mass medium, with different countries and activists promoting open or regulated visions of the internet.

Mac201 spies and whistleblowers lecture
- Whistleblowing has a long history but contexts have changed with the internet now providing a platform to bypass journalists. However, relying too heavily on platforms like WikiLeaks needs reconsideration.
- There are questions around whether whistleblowers now become the story rather than their actual revelations and risks of smear campaigns against them hiding in full view.
- The context of government secrecy, corporate interests, and erosion of privacy online has arguably made disclosure of wrongdoing more important, but has also enabled closing of information flows and top-down control through consolidation of online platforms.

Online social movements and networked activism. Trends around research
This document discusses online social movements and networked activism in Spain. It focuses on two key Spanish political movements: Pásalo in 2004 and 15M in 2011.
It analyzes how these movements utilized social media and networked communication to organize and spread their messages outside of traditional media. Specifically, it looks at how 15M protesters coordinated on social networks and how analysis of Twitter data showed decentralized, non-hierarchical information flows.
The document also examines how mainstream media initially failed to adequately cover 15M in its early days, while discussion grew rapidly on social networks. It identifies open questions around the media logic of social networks and how they spread the messages of online social movements.
Evgeny Morozov
This document discusses the dark side of social media from a critical perspective. It argues that social media's impact on political change is complex and context dependent. While social media can enhance democracy, authoritarian regimes may also adapt social media tools to increase control and surveillance. The document advocates an "ecological" view that considers social media's influence on entire political systems over time, rather than just its use during specific events. It warns that unchecked power of new internet platforms could undermine democratic debate and politics.
Se emp ppt
The document discusses how new technologies and social media are changing how the public engages with government and politics. It argues that representatives need to adapt to these changes by using tools like social media, open data, and online engagement to better involve constituents and collaborate with local communities. Failing to adapt risks losing relevance as the expectations of an always-connected public diverge from traditional political structures. The document urges representatives to consider how their role may need to evolve over the next 5-20 years to maintain meaningful relationships with citizens in this changing digital landscape.

An 80-person internet task force was assembled in Colombia to help presidential candidate Juan Manuel Santos catch up to his opponent Antanas Mockus, who had a strong online presence. The task force launched innovative digital tactics over 50 days like an iPhone app, SMS messaging, and online videos to appeal to young voters and shift perceptions of Santos. Their efforts contributed to Santos receiving nearly 7 million votes in the first round on May 30th, doubling his opponent, and he went on to win the runoff election on June 20th in a landslide victory.
Democracy_in_a_Network_Society.pptx
This document discusses the promises and realities of digital democracy. It addresses 4 promises made in the 1980s-1990s about how digital media could enhance political information sharing, debate, media participation, and decision making. While some promises have been partially fulfilled like improved information access, most have not led to institutional changes. The document analyzes why expectations were too high, focusing on pitfalls like assuming technology causes total revolution, social continuity, or can technically fix complex problems. In conclusion, digital media have modestly helped participation but not transformed political systems yet. Their long term impact remains uncertain and will likely differ from current expectations.
