New Resource: Teaching on WhatsApp-Leadership and Storytelling for Grassroots Community Organizers

June 9, 2021

This guide provides instructions on how to design and deliver an interactive training course through an app-based messaging platform. Drawing from Grassroots’ pilot teaching leadership and storytelling through WhatsApp, we share tips on pedagogy, participant engagement, and the technical aspects of launching a distance-learning course.

Part I of the guide describes the pilot course and Part II delves into the details of teaching on WhatsApp. Along with MIT GOV/LAB, our collaborative research partner, we also include lessons on evaluation and learning.

The Digital Safety Net: Citizens and Technology in the Age of Covid-19

June 9, 2020

 

Chair

Jonathan Tanner @Tannerjc – Research Associate, Digital Societies, ODI

Speakers

Oscar Tapp Scotting @DCMS – Deputy Director, Security & Online Harms, UK Government Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

Maureen Stickel – Associate Director and Head of Zambia, IDinsight

Calvin Chong – Director of International Affairs, Ministry of Communications and Information of the Republic of Singapore, @SingaporeMCI

Description

The urgency of the Covid-19 threat is increasing the demand for governments to use existing technologies in new ways and to use untested new technologies on urgent problems. The use of these technologies are part of a rapidly deployed ‘digital safety net’ aimed at saving lives and protecting citizens. Without the usual time available to test new ideas it is more important than ever that best practice is identified and shared.

This event contributes to further thinking about the role of digital technology in providing a safety net in times of crisis, the essential components of the safety net and newly designed technology being used to respond to the Covid-19 crisis.

We explore perspectives from different geographies and address critical lessons covering three aspects of the crisis response: tackling the virus, social protection and public information.
