Just added Ritu R. Sharma’s course An Introduction to Advocacy: A Training Guide in ICT4D Courses.

The original material comes from the Academy for Educational Development:

Founded in 1961, AED is an independent, nonprofit organization committed to solving critical social problems and building the capacity of individuals, communities, and institutions to become more self-sufficient. AED works in all the major areas of human development, with a focus on improving education, health, and economic opportunities for the least advantaged in the United States and developing countries throughout the world.

They have an interesting Tools & Publications section with some
training materials.

BUT, though the materials do really look good, IMHO just Sharma’s is a course, so this is the reason to upload to ICT4D Courses only this resource.

An International website featuring up to date 2005 worldwide Internet Usage, the Population Statistics and the Area Data, for over 233 countries and world regions.

Though I had Tim Unwin‘s course already in the list of ICT4D Courses I have on my ICT4D Wiki, it’s not been till he wrote to me that I included the course materials in ICT4D Courses, the repository.

Now it is done :)

ICT4D Courses is out.

ICT4D Courses is a learning objects repository focused on development and cooperation for development, with a strong commitment on Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D).

Let me know what you think :)
