Past exam questions are available on the course page if you wish to familiarise with the exam format. Please do drop me an email at silvima@ifi.uio.no, or come see me in office (Nemko building, room HBU036), if you have any questions.

Hello! :-)
A warm welcome to IN5390, "ICT for Development: Building A Better World?" In this course we will explore the field of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), in a journey guided by the question on what it takes to make a better world with ICTs. In our journey we will explore the limits and possibilities of ICTs for development, touching on themes as diverse as digital platforms, ICT use by refugees and internally displaced persons, global health, data justice and decolonial understandings of ICT4D.
The course is assessed with a take-home exam to be submitted in December 2022. Essential readings are available in the course schedule, which offers also an overview of the themes of the course.
For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at silvima@ifi.uio.no.
I look forward to meeting you in the fall!
All the best,
Silvia
