Lesson in this module
The module has one lesson: Lesson 1 – Sustaining an ICT Project for Social Change. It explains why ICT matters for development and how to keep an online advocacy project useful over time. It also shows how to measure the project’s impact through tools such as user interviews, feedback forms, Google Forms surveys, and analytics data.
Key ideas: how to sustain an ICT project for social change
The module describes ICT (Information Communication Technology) as a tool for better and cheaper communication and for creating knowledge. A project for social change only works if people keep visiting it, so the project must be maintained. The module lists these things to remember.
- Update content regularly. Changing your site content often keeps it relevant and engaging.
- Webpage design. Design affects how your audience sees your brand and whether they stay on your page. You can refresh a site with new photos or a design renovation.
- Updated links. Current links help users navigate and find your site. The benefits include:
- more visibility in search results
- traffic from other websites that link to you
- being seen as a valuable resource
- appearing in search results faster
- Reply to inquiries. Quick replies help you collect feedback through forums, online communities, emails, blogs, and comments.
- Website management. This is a platform of tools and services that lets a team create, design, launch, manage, and monitor website content.
- Monitoring tools. These tools track a webpage around the clock to catch early warnings of failures or problems. There are monitoring tools for servers, networks, databases, security, performance, website and Internet usage, and applications.
- Promotion, traction, and traffic monitoring. These are ways to attract visitors and earn more shares, email subscribers, and higher search rankings.
The module also asks learners to think about how to measure impact, whether in qualitative or quantitative terms. As an extra reading tip, it suggests looking up the Pareto Principle, the idea that 20% of causes produce 80% of effects.
Activities in the module
- What I Know: a 15-item multiple-choice pretest on basic ICT terms such as software, upload, download, web browser, website, blog, and live streaming.
- What’s In: two questions on how analyzing website statistics helps you. The answers go into your portfolio.
- What’s New: identify six platforms from their logos: Facebook, Change.org, Instagram, Blogger, YouTube, and Wattpad.
