Had a lovely chat with @weblearning yesterday running the gamut on all things #digital #education: non-institutional affiliations, balance between #open #technology and proprietary tech, #oer, the #Southafrica context, #postdigital #privilege, and examples of social publishing (African Storybook and more). Really enjoyed it Derek as did the students on the #mscde at #Edinburgh. Thanks so much: media.ed.ac.uk/media/1_5je9qg2

One of my current students on #mscde (MSc in Digital Education) at #Edinburgh: mastercardfdn.org/ripples-of-i. She is exceptional and an absolute joy to teach. 'Founder of Cactus Mama, a telemental health program that provides women in rural Kenya with health services during and after their pregnancy.

Competing Logics in an #ICT4D Partnership: Case Evidence from Indonesia: 'exploring the interplay of logics within an international organization-local public sector partnership. Results show that the “accountability logic”of the international organization (WHO) conflicted with the “hierarchical” public sector logic of the ministry.' Perhaps this goes without saying, but these types of partnerships are really challenging precisely due to these different logics. #mscde #Indonesia #digital

Learning Equality Deployment Map: a map of projects engaging with Kolibri, an open LMS with online/offline functionality that can run in low resource environments. I find these projects inspiring so worth a bit of your time if interested in #openedtech #edtech #diged #mscde learningequality.org/ka-lite/m. We used it with displaced populations in #Uganda and worked like a charm.
