| Information Technology for Development (Spring 2018): 2017-18 | Educational Support | Start Center | Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis, Service Learning Academy (SLA) | Service Learning | Course | None | Spring | 2017-18 | None | None | 10 | 90 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | STEM/STEM Education | This course enables students to explore, develop and apply concepts in Information Technology for Development (ITD) in the community. After having reviewed the theoretical and applied literature in ITD, students will apply their knowledge of this area by conducting applied research. A great deal of the course involves interaction with micro-enterprise owners in the community. Students will maintain a Journal to reflect on their experiences following every class and every meeting with the client. Journals will be collected and graded periodically throughout the semester. Students will research solutions to some commonly encountered technology-related challenges and develop a module consisting of an analysis of alternative solutions and a tutorial for implementing one of them. They will develop an individualized IT-based solution to a pressing problem or opportunity faced by a microenterprise. Students will work together with a microenterprise in the Omaha community or rural Nebraska. Students will prepare an analysis and plan for future information technology use by a specific microenterprise. Community partners and micro-entrepreneurs will be invited to the final presentations. |
