HREA Distance Learning Course 3E06:
Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for Human
Rights Work - Advanced course
20 September-12 December 2006

Instructor: Frank Elbers

This e-learning course is intended for staff members of human rights and
social justice NGOs and inter-governmental organisations who are
responsible for information and communication (i.e. information officers,
web editors, webmasters/webweavers, communication specialists) within
their organisation. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) is a
dynamic field where success is dependent upon skill development and
practical experience. Participants will be introduced to proven methods of
using ICTs to promote their human rights work. They will become equipped
with the knowledge and tools to more effectively design and implement
listservs, web sites, databases or multi-media for advocacy campaigns,
training and information management.

This course involves 60 hours of reading, on-line working groups,
interaction with students and instructor and assignments, and is offered
over a three-month period, beginning on 20 September 2006. The course is
based on a participatory, active learning approach, with an emphasis on
peer-to-peer learning.

Participants are expected to come to the course with ideas about how their
organisation can integrate or further develop the use of ICTs within the
organisation. Participants will do the required reading, prepare interim
and final assignments and participate in group discussions. Participants
will receive a Certificate of Participation upon successful completion of
the course. The maximum number of participants is 25.
