By examining doctor patient interactions in two different contexts of telemedicine programs in India, we posit how the actors interacting over virtual media reinforce and shape the structures, which in turn, are determined by the institutional logics of the context. This process determines the adaption and evolution of a new technology. The paper draws on the tenets of structuration theory and institutional logics to extend the theoretical understanding of the process of evolution of a new technology and emphasizes the essential role of considering the existing institutional logics in the design and implementation process.","PeriodicalId":309698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies and Development: Notes - Volume 2","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132040443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project is based on design work which was carried out over a longer period of time with a single rural pilot community in Namibia and its transferability of technology and concepts into other rural communities. In an attempt to overcome expensive technology adaptations we explore the possibility of having rural communities' crowdsource their defined and specified technology needs. We describe the concept and our current implementation with a first user evaluation in two rural communities. We also discuss the next phase of the project.","PeriodicalId":309698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies and Development: Notes - Volume 2","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121664144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In developing countries the need for accurate data is particularly acute, as organizations are often forced to make decisions on a tight budget with limited capacity for data collection. In this note, we describe recent progress toward developing a set of algorithms that can help detect and classify anomalies in health worker data. Building on recent efforts to use unsupervised multinomial techniques for outlier detection, we outline the steps required to turn a set of statistical tests into a framework that can be implemented by health organizations, and calibrate these algorithms on a large dataset from a partner health organization. Here, we describe the core methods, present results from ongoing analyses, and outline our plan for future work, including plans to obtain labeled training data that will allow us to detect and classify different types of outlier in community health worker data.","PeriodicalId":309698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies and Development: Notes - Volume 2","volume":"2014 31","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120846596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We start our analysis from experiences in our participation in digital inclusion projects as well as from reports and research papers recently published that show that the availability of broadband infrastructure, convergent devices for Internet access and associated content, though necessary, it is not enough to accomplish sustainable social and economic development in rural communities. We suggest that it is necessary to explore new perspectives, which in conjunction with the cyber-infrastructure, consider two complementary programs; a social action program to incorporate strategies for community participation, technology adoption, usability and capacity building and a program for social innovation to encourage entrepreneurship and organizational development in the rural context. We pose that the cyber-infrastructure and associated programs constitute a socio-technical system interacting with the rural context, which in turn we characterize as a socio-environmental system. We argue that the project objectives should arise as a result of the stakeholders' interaction of both systems in the operational, tactic and strategic levels.","PeriodicalId":309698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies and Development: Notes - Volume 2","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127983810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through our analysis, we demonstrate that access and use of PCCs is mediated by factors beyond the mere availability of computing infrastructure and include conditions such as fulfillment of routine life needs, geo-spatial characteristics of sites, availability of transport, and access to alternative sites of Internet access.","PeriodicalId":309698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies and Development: Notes - Volume 2","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131081837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method that combined video and lecture demonstration was significantly more effective in narrowing the gender knowledge gap. Use of video alone improved women's knowledge scores as much as men but did not reduce the preexisting knowledge gap between them.","PeriodicalId":309698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies and Development: Notes - Volume 2","volume":"14 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130574292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our vision is to develop these interfaces together with networking support for peer-to-peer collaboration between councils, compliance agencies and trusted advisers.

Secondly, to understand its entrepreneurs and how the hubs have positively impacted on their development be it skills or the growth of their innovations. So far, iHub has conducted 7 studies of various hubs across Africa and they include: (iHub-Kenya; KLab-Rwanda; MEST-Ghana, BongoHive hub-Zambia, KINU hub-Tanzania; Activspaces-Cameroon and Hive Colab-Uganda. This paper provides an overview of some of the key findings. Lessons learnt, challenges and proposed recommendations.
