Children and Mobile Technology - Online Capacity Building Course
This seven-week online course<http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=bea5be8c7a&e=1501573150> is offered by the GSMA?s Capacity Building in Mobile Sector Regulation<http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=438a57143d&e=1501573150> initiative, in cooperation with DiploFoundation. The course is aimed primarily at staff and management of national telecommunications regulatory authorities. Participation in this course is fully funded by the GSMA.
Children and young people are among the most avid users of mobile technologies, which can have a tremendous positive impact on their lives. Like any tool, however, mobile technologies can be used to cause harm, and parents, governments and industry have a role in protecting and supporting children who are connected. This course looks at the issue from several angles, including cultural differences regarding children?s use of mobile devices, child online protection and whether regulation is necessary.
Course topics include:
* Children in the digital age * Rights, opportunities, and risks * Policies, roles, and responsibilities * Online child sexual abuse * Combatting online child sexual abuse * Formulating a national strategy for child online safely
Learning methodology Combining the GSMA?s expertise on children and mobile technology with Diplo?s highly interactive online learning methodology, this course is conducted entirely online over seven weeks. Reading materials and tools for online interaction are provided through an online classroom. Each week, participants read an assigned module text, adding questions and comments as hypertext entries. The course tutor, guest experts, and other participants read and respond to these entries, creating interaction based on the module text. Participants complete short quizzes and join online meetings to discuss the week?s topic. During the final week, participants complete a written assignment designed to help them apply course topics to their own context. The course requires five to six hours of study time per week.
Who should apply This course is aimed primarily at staff and management of national telecommunications regulatory authorities. Priority will be given to applicants from developing countries. Applications from professionals working in other institutions or fields relevant to child online protection will be considered if places remain in the course session.
Participation is fully funded by the GSMA. There is no tuition fee for selected applicants.
Course reviews
I can honestly say that I have gotten a wealth of knowledge from this course. These tools will now help me to be better able to contribute to the Internet landscape in my country; something I intend to do without delay. -Ervin Williams, Director of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission, St Kitts and Nevis
This course has provided me with some necessary tools required to address child online protection; furthermore it established appropriate networks. The most practical thing that I can take away from this course is the sample strategy, this will be the basis on which a child online protection initiative or even cybersecurity can be founded. - Cecily Faasau, Legal Counsel, Office of the Regulator, Samoa
