Welcome to ICTD2010 at Royal Holloway, University of London

ICTD2010 is the latest in the series of highly successful international ICTD conferences held in Doha (2009), Bangalore (2007) and Berkeley (2006). It aims to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and all those with interests in the use of information and communication technologies in development policy and practice to meet to discuss the latest research advances in the field.

We have particularly sought to involve a diversity of participants and approaches in the design and implementation of the conference. The first and last days thus consist of open sessions and workshops, and the middle two days consist of peer-reviewed papers, posters and demonstrations. About half of the sessions were accepted through a peer-review process, while the other half were invited or resulted from discussions with our conference partners. This diverse mix is designed to allow all delegates actively to participate in a variety of ways.

As a result of generous support from our sponsors, we have been able to provide around 100 scholarships to enable people who would not otherwise be able to participate from countries ranked below 100th on the latest Human Development Index, postgraduate students, those on low incomes, and those presenting papers or contributing to sessions to be at the conference.

Conferences are also places where friendships are made and networks enhanced. We are therefore offering a range of social events, including an open mic/jam session, a reception in the College’s famous Picture Gallery, a conference banquet, and an evening of musical entertainment and dancing, as well as the ice skating rink located in the heart of the magnificent Founder’s Building.

We would particularly like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to the preparation of the conference: all those on the committees who selected the papers and sessions; colleagues who managed the scholarship selection process and arranged flights for the scholarship recipients; those who handled all of the registration enquiries; all of our partners and sponsors; and the many assistants who have supported us over the last year. We have provided the place for ICTD2010. Now it is up to all of you as participants, to make it your conference.

Accommodation Accommodation is in different buildings across the campus. For those booked in Standard bedrooms, please go to Founder’s Reception (marked 1 on the map) and for En-suite rooms, please go to The Hub Reception (marked 41 on the map). You will then be directed to your room. In case of any problems, please call The Hub Customer Services team (08.00-22.00) on +44 1784 443285. After 22.00 (10 p.m.) the Security Team (+44 [0] 1784 443063) can arrange an emergency response. If your arrival is later than 21:00 our Security staff at The Hub Reception will be able to give you your key and give directions. It would be helpful for our staff to be aware of late arrivals before the arrival date – please email FMCustomerServices-NewHalls@rhul.ac.uk or call +44 [0] 1784 443285. Please check-in with Hub Reception the next day so they are aware you have arrived. Registration Registration will take place in the foyer of the Windsor Building (marked 2 on the map), and will be open at the following times:

• 14.00-18.00 on Sunday 12th December • 08.00-18.00 from Monday 13th December – Thursday 16th December

Participants will register in alphabetical queues, and there will be a separate desk for all those who have received scholarships. Please wear your badge visibly at all times. Transport By Air For those arriving at Heathrow Airport, we strongly recommend that you do not take the expensive black cabs, but consider calling one of the local taxi firms such as Gemini (+44 [0] 1784 471111) – a taxi should cost around £23 from Terminals 1-4 and £19 from Terminal 5, and takes about 20 minutes (Gemini Taxis charge £70 from London Gatwick) – or take a bus (route 441 from the Heathrow Central Bus Station or Terminal 5, and route 71 from Terminal 5 go from Heathrow to Egham and Englefield Green, but take between 30 and 45 minutes).

8

For those arriving at London Gatwick, we recommend either (a) taking a bus to London Heathrow and then proceeding as above, or (b) taking a train to Egham via Clapham Junction (which is on the line to Victoria from Gatwick).

By Train For those travelling by train, Egham is on the main line from London Waterloo to Reading. Timetables are available at the conference reception. On weekdays, faster trains leave London Waterloo for Egham at 20 and 50 minutes past the hour. Likewise, trains leave Egham for Waterloo most of the day at 23 and 53 minutes past the hour; slower ones leave at 27 and 57 minutes past the hour. You can take a taxi from the station or walk (see walking map on page 37) By Car Royal Holloway, University of London is 2 miles south-west of Junction 13 on the M25; follow signposts for the A30 (Bagshot and Camberley). At the first roundabout, take the second exit; at the second roundabout, again take the second exit and continue on the A30 up Egham Hill. The College is on the left at the top of the hill. There are footbridges across the road at the pedestrian and main entrances.

Conference Sessions and Papers Almost all of the conference sessions and papers will be held in the Windsor Building (marked 2 on the map). A small number of sessions will also be held in the School of Management (marked 12 on the map) and the Queen’s Building (marked 35 on the map), a short walk from the Windsor Building.

Meals Tee and coffee morning and afternoon refreshments on conference days will be served in the Windsor Building. Lunches will be served in The Hub (marked 41 on the map). There will be 2-3 food options, mainly hot, with some salads and cold meats. This is about 5 minutes walk from the Windsor Building. Breakfasts for those who have booked bed and breakfast accommodation on campus will be available at The Hub (marked 41 on the map). Evening meals for those who have pre-purchased meals will be available at The Hub (marked 41 on the map). The conference banquet, for those who have pre-booked, will be in the Founder’s Dining Room (in the centre of the Founder’s Building, marked 1 on the map). Please note that there are no meals available on campus on the 12th or on the evening of the 17th. A list of local hostelries and places to eat is available from the location page on the conference website.

We are here to help Some 30 postgraduates and undergraduates most of whom are based at Royal Holloway, University of London, and therefore know the campus well, will be providing assistance throughout the conference. They will be wearing large visible badges on lanyards, and please ask them should you have any enquiries. Information for those in receipt of Scholarships On registration all recipients of scholarships must give copies of their boarding pass, ticket and passport (named page and entry stamp page) to the conference organisers. This is an auditing requirement of many of our sponsors, and it would greatly facilitate matters if you could come prepared to provide this material. No registration will be permitted without it.

Sustainability We are seeking to deliver ICTD2010 in as sustainable way as possible – albeit that we are bringing people together from across the world. We hope that you will support us in trying to minimise waste and will recognise the efforts we are making to minimise environmental impact. Our environmental sustainability policy is available at www.ictd2010.org/?page_id=770.

Departure Unless prior arrangements have been made, departure time from campus accommodation is by 10.00 on your day of departure.

Useful things to note Internet access: Access is available in the bedrooms via an Ethernet cable, and we recommend that you bring one with you; these are also available from reception for a nominal charge. WiFi access is available in the Windsor Building and the Hub Dining Hall. Those without laptops can access through our Computer Centre PC Labs (but will need to obtain a username and password at check-in or from Registration). Campus store and bank: General store (marked 6 on the map) - sells magazines & papers, drinks, memorabilia and all general supplies. NatWest Bank (marked 7 on the map) with ATM machine and change machine. Electrical appliances: The conference bedrooms do not have electrical adaptors for USA or continental currents. Nor do they have hairdryers, so we recommend you bring these with you. Adaptors are sold at the Store on Campus (6). Irons and ironing boards are available in each of the kitchens. Launderettes: The College has several where clothes can be washed and dried, these are coin operated. Smoking: Smoking is not allowed in any of our buildings.

Spaces for personal reflection: There is a Victorian ecumenical chapel in Founders, and a Muslim Prayer Room (please ask us for the pass-code) opposite Founders Reception. Just south of Founders there are also some beautiful nature paths along woodland and ponds.

Session numbers and rooms The 4-digit session numbers are designed to help you see quickly where and when the session is taking place. The first digit shows the day, the second the position in the day and the last two which of the parallel sessions it is. So session 1208 is on Day 1, in the second slot, parallel session 8. Rooms for open sessions are: WA = Windsor Auditorium – capacity 400 – number 2 on campus map WS = Windsor Seminar Rooms – capacity 50 – number 2 on campus map MBMA = Management Auditorium – capacity 110 – number 12 on campus map

The session will consist of both paper presentations and interactive panels. The aim is to have a creative and friendly day filled with interesting discussions. WS0-2 1202 Link to Online Conference I Organisers: Ineke Buskens (Research for the Future), Florian Sturm (ICT4D.at) WS0-3 1203 Nuevas Perspectivas desde América Latina en TIC para el Desarrollo I (New perspectives from Latin America on ICT for Development) Organiser: Eduardo Villanueva (Pontifica Universidad Católica del Perú) Esta sesión será una oportunidad para conocer algunas de las actividades más recientes e innovadoras en las que las TICxD son protagonistas de ejercicios de cambio social y económico, en algunos países de América Latina. Se busca además iniciar un debate cruzado entre los especialistas académicos de la región y del resto del mundo, con aquellos que trabajan en el terreno, coordinando y aplicando implementaciones novedosas. (This session will be an opportunity to disseminate and discuss some of the latest innovative activities in ICTD from Latin America, where a starring role is given to technology for social and economic change. We look forward also to starting a debate among the academic specialists and the innovators and practitioners working in the field, creating, coordinating and applying new solutions). WS0-4 1204 How Can ICT Research Better Inform and Communicate Theories of Development and Globalization? New Challenges and Promising Directions Organisers: James Murphy (Clark University) and Pádraig Carmody (Trinity College Dublin) Although studies of ICT have documented their impacts on Southern livelihoods, it is unclear how this research is influencing theories about development and globalization more broadly. Session participants will discuss how new directions in ICT research can improve our theoretical understandings of globalization and the variable geometry of socioeconomic development.

WS0-5 1205 Citizen Mapping and Media Development Organisers: Erica Hagen, Mikel Maron (Ground Truth and Map Kibera Project) A roundtable discussion by practitioners in participatory, open-source citizen mapping and journalism led by the directors of Ground Truth Initiative (founders of Map Kibera) with invited guests. How are tools of digital mapping, new media, and online video actually used in the field, and what are accompanying challenges to access, transparency, empowerment. Links: www.mapkibera.org; www.kiberanewsnetwork.org; www.voiceofkibera.org WS1-3 1206 ICTs, Climate Change and Development I Organisers: Richard Heeks, Angelica Ospina (Centre for Development Informatics, University of Manchester) Climate change is a major and increasing challenge to international development. Considering the rapid diffusion of ICTs in developing countries, this one-day workshop focuses on understanding the role (positive and negative) of ICTs in climate change adaptation, mitigation, monitoring, and strategy via presentations, group discussion and an expert panel. Further information on this conference session is available at www.nicd.org/workshop2010.htm. WS1-4 1207 PV Film: Conversations with the Earth: Indigenous Voices on Climate Change I Organisers: Gareth Benest (Insightshare) MBMA 1208 EU-Africa Partnership in the Field of ICT4D Organiser: Ilari Lindy (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland) This session will offer an interactive discussion among officials and practitioners related to the preparation and implementation of the EU-Africa Strategic Partnership 8. Today stronger cooperation is needed to take the maximum benefit out of digital economy and the reduction of the digital divide. The EU-Africa Strategic Partnership, originally established in 2008, interlinks three priorities for development policy, Science, Information Society and Space, which singly and in conjunction can leverage faster socio-economic development in every country. Q136 1209-1509 Hands-On Workshop: Participatory Video Organisers: Jay Mistry, Katherine Brickell, Vandana Desai (Royal Holloway, University of London), Sara Asadullah (Insightshare) This session will give conference participants an opportunity to experience Participatory Video (PV), through a series of games and exercises. Participants will carry out a small PV project during the conference, ending with a film screening. Participants will need to devote Dec 13 and Dec 16 to this workshop and will have registered in advance. 11:30-12:00 Coffee 12:00-13:30 Sessions WA 1301 IPID (International Postgraduate Network in ICT4D) II – see 1201 WS0-2 1302 Online Conference II – see 1202 WS0-3 1303 Nuevas Perspectivas desde América Latina en TIC para el Desarrollo II – see 1203 WS0-4 1304 ICTD2.0 and Peer Production Organisers: Mark Graham and Maja Andjelkovic (Oxford Internet Institute) ICTs offer potential for development to become more open and inclusive through crowdsourcing and better networking. Yet, new ways of collaborating and creating content within the context of development remain poorly understood. As such, this session aims to both begin a critical discussion about the ways in which peer-production alters the possibilities for development, and to form a network of people interested in the topic.

WS0-5 1305 Creating, An Alternative Organisers: Ann Light (Sheffield Hallam University), Karen Merkel (New Media Networks), Clodagh Miskelly, Gabriel Gbadamosi (Goldsmith College, UL), Linje Manyozo (LSE) ‘Creating, An Alternative’ addresses an important and frequently overlooked topic in an exemplary way. Together we will use collaborative approaches to explore and consider the roles that creativity has within a framework of cultural production that either creates or uses platforms that support a wide expression of ideas and views. WS1-3 1306 ICTs, Climate Change and Development II – see 1206 WS1-4 1307 PV Film: Indigenous Voices on Climate Change II – see 1207 MBMA 1308 The Development Potential of the Virtual Economy: Towards a Knowledge Map Organisers: Lara Srivastava and Tim Kelly (InfoDev/World Bank) This InfoDev/World Bank Workshop looks at the emerging "virtual economy" of digital games and platforms. It will explore how the virtual economy has started to create earning opportunities for semi-skilled and unskilled workers and how it could stimulate local growth and entrepreneurship in the developing world.

WS0-3 1403 From Digital Inclusion to Information Literacy: An Open Space Workshop Organisers: Brasilina Passarelli, Daisy Grisolia, Fernanda Scur, Mariana Tavernari (University of São Paulo) From Digital Inclusion to Information Literacy: emerging issues is an open space workshop to stimulate people to be creative, synergistic and self-motivated in identifying new trends on digital inclusion and information literacy policies in diverse contexts and geographies and under government and non-government agendas. WS0-4 1404 Open Space for newly emerging themes at the conference I Organiser: Alan Jackson (Aptivate) The principle of the Open Space methodology is that the participants themselves decide the topic(s) they want to discuss. WS0-5 1405 Conceptions of Accountability in Policy and Practice I Organisers: Ann Light (Sheffield Hallam University), Robin Mansell (LSE) This session focuses on how accountability requirements and responsibilities to stakeholders affect ICTD projects.

DAY 4 – DEC16 9:00-10:30 Sessions WA 4101 Development Theory “Teach-In” Organiser: Katie Willis (Centre for Developing Areas Research, Royal Holloway, University of London, www.gg.rhul.ac.uk/cedar) The development ‘teach-in’ will provide a clear introduction to development definitions, theories and policies for participants. It will enable participants to examine and debate different approaches to ‘development’ through presentations and group exercises which include considerations of how ICTs fit into these approaches. WS0-2/0-3 4102 e-Agriculture Perspectives: Enhancing the Impact of ICT in Rural Development I Organisers: FAO and members of the e-Agriculture Community (www.e-agriculture.org) Experts and thought leaders from the e-Agriculture Community will engage with the audience to discuss how ICT can enable rural economic development, leading to poverty reduction and sustainable rural livelihoods. It will also look into the key role of partnerships, and how the different stakeholders can contribute to these ends. WS0-4 4103 Open Educational Resources Organisers: UNESCO UK, Andreia Santos (Open University, UK), Ian Grant (Encyclopedia Britannica), Bjoern Hassler (University of Cambridge) One of UNESCO’s objectives is to support teachers in African schools in their work to improve access and outcomes for schoolchildren. One approach is to facilitate provision of appropriate Open Educational Resources. Is this helpful? Teachers from two countries in Africa will describe the use of OER in the classroom. WS0-5 4104 Engendering ICT Policies Organiser: Sonia Jorge (Pyramid Research) Efforts to integrate gender and promote gender equality in ICT national policies have not yet resulted in tangible gender focused actions. Panelists will relate experiences in working with governments, agencies and organizations in crafting, implementing and evaluating ICT policies that promote gender equality and contribute to development. The discussion will focus on challenges and windows of opportunity. WS1-2 4105 Grey Zones: ICT4D, Participation and Research Ethics Organisers: Jo Tacchi (Queensland University of Technology), Nimmi Rangaswamy (Microsoft Research Labs India), Revi Sterling (University of Colorado) The session will begin with three short presentations raising some of the ethical issues and challenges for ICT4D research, to provoke and encourage a broader discussion with session participants. We anticipate discussion will cover a range of issues, including: What particular ethical challenges does ICT4D raise? How might participation lead to local power shifts and struggles, and how far is it our responsibility to pay attention to such things? As ICT4D researchers, how can we most appropriately develop and reflect on our relationships with participants when “development” is the ultimate objective? WS1-3 4106 Qual Meets Quant: Bridging the Gap between Technical and Social Researchers to Foster International Development through Mobile Phones I Organisers: Vanessa Frias-Martinez (Teléfonica Research); Kentaro Toyama and Jenna Burrell (both University of California, Berkeley), Nathan Eagle (SantaFe Institute) This workshop intends to bring together technical and social researchers, as well as policy makers, to explore the potential of mixed-method approaches to analyzing new sources of data gathered through ubiquitous technologies. Joint analysis of quantitative data, qualitative research and statistical indicators might provide a deeper understanding of technology usage. More info at www.qualmeetsquant.org.

WS1-4 4107 Mapping out a Research Agenda for mHealth I Organisers: Patricia Mechael (Center for Global Health and Economic Development, Earth Institute at Columbia University); Alison Bloch (Independent mHealth Strategist); Garrett Mehl (WHO) “Mapping out a research agenda for mHealth” is an interactive workshop designed to engage academic, industry, donor and non-profit stakeholders in an action-oriented session that will generate a set of recommendations on how to address and prioritize research gaps and evaluation methodologies amongst mHealth projects to develop an evidence base strong enough to meet diverse needs. MBMA 4108 Open Development Organiser: Laurent Elder (IDRC-CRDI) “Open development” refers to an emerging and novel set of more “open” ICT-enabled networked activities in international development. The concept also contains a hypothesis: these new forms of activities represent a development opportunity that is potentially transformative and sustainable. The purpose of this session is to interrogate this hypothesis. More information and perspectives on open development can be found at: www.idrc.ca/en/ev-131099-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html and www.idrc.ca/en/ev-133699-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html Q136 4109-4109 Hands-On Workshop: Participatory Video Organisers: Jay Mistry, Katherine Brickell, Vandana Desai (Royal Holloway, University of London), Sara Asadullah (Insightshare) This session will give conference participants an opportunity to experience Participatory Video (PV), through a series of games and exercises. Participants will carry out a small PV project during the conference, ending with a film screening. Participants will need to devote Dec 13 and Dec 16 to this workshop and will have registered in advance. Q170 4110-4410 Participatory Design of Mobile Learning Activities: A Workshop for Academics from Developing Regions Organisers: Niall Winters and Yishay Mor (both London Knowledge Lab) This workshop will provide an introduction to the use of mobile learning in education. The focus will be on the design of learning activities by participants. Issues addressed will include the role of mobiles in (i) improving access to education and (ii) engaging in new ways of learning. Participants will have to have registered and devote all of Dec 16 to this workshop. For full details, see: www.ml4d.org/events/wksp4 10:30-11:00 Coffee 11:00-12:30 Sessions WA 4201 Technology “Teach-In” Organisers: Revi Sterling, Heather Underwood (both University of Colorado) The Tech Teach-in is designed for those who wish to gain additional “technical” confidence and knowledge in order to make better decisions about what “T” to use in ICTD projects. In this Technology 101 workshop, participants will learn how hardware, software and networking systems act and interact, through entertaining group exercises and presentations. WS0-2/0-3 4202 e-Agriculture Perspectives II – see 4102 WS0-4 4203 Free and Open Source Approaches to Assistive Technologies in ICT4D Organiser: Ugo Vallauri (Royal Holloway, University of London/Computer Aid International) This session focuses on research and development of free and open source assistive technology solutions for people with disabilities. The main themes of interest are: funding models, policy trends, presentations of case studies and pilot projects, research perspectives from the Global South, emerging challenges and opportunities with mobile and touch-enabled devices.

25

WS0-5 4204 Applying Gender Analysis to ICT4D Projects Organiser: Gloria Bonder (UNESCO Chair in Gender, Science and Technology, Buenos Aires) This workshop will be for ICT4D project practitioners who are interested in engendering their projects. It will be participatory in that those who attend can describe their situation and their attempts (or lack thereof) to identify and deal with gender issues on their projects. Panelist and other attendees can make suggestions for arriving at gender equality in the projects described. WS1-2 4205 ICT for Microentrepreneurs Organiser: Charity Gichuki (Kenyatta University) In this session we will hear three short impulse pieces on ICTs and microentrepreneurs from different parts of the world. An open discussion will follow, with the intention of a) drawing out research gaps that are still unclosed about the use of ICTs for micro-enterprises, b) sharing of experiences in other areas of the global south and perhaps c) forming a thematic South-South network. WS1-3 4206 Qual Meets Quant II – see 4106 WS1-4 4207 Mapping out a Research Agenda for mHealth II - see 4107 MBMA 4208 Consultation for the World Bank Group’s ICT Sector Strategy 2011 Organiser: Anat Lewin (World Bank) The World Bank Group is seeking your views on its approach for a new ICT Sector Strategy, to be published in 2011. This session will outline our proposed approach and ask for your inputs on defining the Bank’s future engagement in this sector. 12:30-13:30 Lunch (The Hub) 13:30-15:00 Sessions WA 4301 Publishing ICT4D Research Organiser: G. Harindranath (Royal Holloway, University of London) This interactive panel will bring together established scholars in the field of ICT4D to discuss their experiences in publishing ICT4D. If you are an ICT4D researcher interested in publishing, then we would love to see you on Dec 16th at the ICTD 2010 conference. Doctoral students particularly welcome. WS0-2/0-3 4302 Open Space for newly emerging themes at the conference Organiser: Alan Jackson (Aptivate) The principle of the Open Space methodology is that the participants themselves decide the topic(s) they want to discuss. WS0-4 4303 Opening Access – What Gets in the Way? Towards a Holistic Approach to Unlocking the Power of Scholarly Knowledge and Information in Developing and Emerging Countries Organiser: Kirsty Newman (International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications, UK) The current technological revolution offers a historic opportunity for the democratisation of knowledge and information, and yet the majority of those in developing and emerging countries remain marginalised. In this session, expertise and examples of enabling equitable participation in the global knowledge system will be shared and documented. WS0-5 4304 The Power of Intent and the Touch of the Unexpected: Exploring a New Paradigm for ICT Research and Planning for Development I Organisers: Ineke Buskens (Research for the Future), Mark Thompson (Cambridge University) ICT4D projects are fluid, complex and emergent. Yet as practitioners and researchers we do not have a good understanding of why this is so and how to better engage with people's unfolding intentions. In this workshop we explore some of the concepts and capacities that will assist us in this. WS1-2 4305 Mirror of conference in online space

WS1-3 4306 Randomised Control Trials: Innovations for Poverty Reduction Organiser: Dean Karlan (Yale University) Dean Karlan, Yale economist and founder of non-profit “Innovations for Poverty Action”, overviews the recent interest in randomised control trials (RCTs) within in economics and public policy circles. He hopes to connect with ICT4D researchers interested in engaging more with RCTs to understand quantifiable impact of ICTs. WS1-4 4307 mHealthy Messaging: A Workshop on Using Mobile Phones to Support Health Promotion and Behaviour Change I Organisers: Jonathan Donner (Microsoft Research India), Patricia Mechael (The Earth Institute, Columbia University) This afternoon session focuses on exploring “best practices” and “biggest hurdles” in using mobiles for health promotion and behavioral change with a special focus on resource-constrained settings. We strongly encourage ICTD2010 attendees with an interest in the topic to join the discussions, either as audience members (no preparation necessary, but participation is encouraged), or as rapid-topic-presenters. MBMA 4308 Mobile Applications for Transformation Across Sectors Organiser: Christine Zhenwei Qiang (World Bank) This session will provide practical examples of mobile applications for development in sectors such as education, health, financial, rural and social networking. Discussion will focus on the guiding principles for the public sector - governments, policy makers and regulators - and the need to provide basic enablers for m-applications to flourish. 15:00-15:30 Coffee 15:30-17:00 Sessions WA 4401 South => North: A Fishbowl on the Transferability of ICTs in income-poor Countries to income-rich Countries (debating Applicability, Methods, Policies) Organisers: Chris Coward and Karen Fisher (both Technology & Social Change Group (TASCHA), University of Washington Information School) Most low-cost, easily implementable ICTD innovations are designed for developing-country contexts. This interactive session focuses on the factors that facilitate or mitigate the transfer of these innovations to communities facing economic and social challenges in richer countries. Participants will identify innovations, discuss what makes them portable (or not), and explore steps that might encourage replication or uptake outside the developing world. Learn more about the session at tascha.uw.edu/ICTDconference WS0-2/0-3 4402 Conference Reflections and Conclusions: ICTD 10 Years Beyond the Millennium Co-Facilitators: Ann Light (Sheffield Hallam University), Robin Mansell (London School of Economics) This session provides a space for critical reflection on themes and topics that emerge during ICT2010, situating them within discourses around ICT4D, encouraging an exchange on the new research and practices that may emerge from the conference learning experience – how can or should these inform policy and practice? WS0-4 4403 Information as a Global Public Good: Enabling Access to Knowledge through Open Licenses Organiser: Ted Hanss (University of Michigan Medical School) This session will equip ICTD2010 attendees with the skills to develop and share knowledge for re-use, re-mixing, and re-distribution using open licenses, amplifying information outputs of development projects. After sharing a case study from Africa, attendees will engage in an interactive exploration of open production with their own materials. Session Website: open.umich.edu/wiki/ICTD2010
