Afrocourse is the Online Courseware for the African Studies Program at Ohio University |
The objectives of this course are to address the needs of the African Studies graduate students to acquire applied knowledge related to the use of technology in their future work in the field of African development.
Since the beginning of the second millennium, the world has entered the information age. The African continent is no exception. The role of Technology information is vital for African nations' development. This course will highlight the increasing relevance and effect of information technology in helping to address what has come to be called the most demanding challenge of our time - that of promoting sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction in Africa.
Inadequate technological capabilities remain one of the major constraints to Africa’s sustainable development. The lack of technological knowledge and execution of technological policies that are in line with domestic economic problems and the challenges of globalization are devastating. Science and technology can make considerable contributions to the development of the continent. In order to achieve these contributions, precedence should be accorded to the development of science and technology in Africa. The objective of the course is to assist students to build technological capabilities to deal with the developmental issues in the continent.
COURSE DESCRIPTION This course explores the relationship between technology and development in African setting. Specifically, the course will survey the history of the development, examining contemporary technological practices, and endeavors to isolate the traditional development practice for discussion and reflection of how to adopt new Technology Support in Development.
Course Name: The Emergence of Women Warriors: Technology and Development Course Description/ Objective: The course will provide a broad overview of women and technology in the context of development in Africa. The course will specifically address the emerging presence of women using technology to promote development and economic growth. The course will be speaking-intensive and is designed to help students improve their overall communication skills while also improving their critical reading, thinking and writing skills. Course objectives go here New advances in technology are not only affecting the Western world and how public health is viewed, but is also occurring in Africa. We will examine some of these new innovations and critically evaluate how they can potentially influence the development of public health practices in Africa. We will look at both stable regions in Africa as well as known conflict zones and what roles each plays in the public health problems that arise in those areas. Then we will discuss how we can apply technology in these areas and the problems that may be encountered.
This course will focus on how technology can be used effectively in African development settings, bearing in mind access and cost, thus open source software will be a focal point.It is my hope that the students will contribute to a discussion on how community technology centers are playing a crucial role in the distribution of information that eventually assist in community development.
Due to the teacher's background, most resources and examples will focus on sports, health and development, but students are more than welcome to apply knowledge from their respective fields. The enrollment of students from different fields is exactly so that a multi-disciplinary approach will be used for problem solving. Course Description:

The last 2-3 decades, humanitarian emergencies resulting from complex civil and military conflicts have become more common. As a result, international relief organizations are in serious need of highly trained professionals and paraprofessionals that can coordinate and manage effective and timely responses to emergencies. It is our hope that this course will fill in this important gap by assisting current and future humanitarian professionals in understanding the data and basic principles they need to master in order to be able to come up with rational and cost-effective food and nutrition emergency relief approaches and programs.
