Online Course: ICTs for Developing Countries
--------------------------------------------

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for Developing 
Countries: Bridging the Digital Divide

Offered through USDA Graduate School
http://grad.usda.gov

Start Date: April 16, 2001
End Date: June 25, 2001

Tuition: US$ 250

Demo Site 
I have set up a demo site using the free version of Blackboard and 
you're welcome to visit. Go to:
http://www.blackboard.com/courses/100867 

and log in as a guest. You'll find the tentative syllabus and some 
other documents on the demo site that will give you an idea of what a 
Blackboard course site looks like and what the course is about. The 
real Course Site for the April-June Session will use the latest ver-
sion of Blackboard (5.0) and has more advanced features. Technical 
requirements are detailed in the tentative syllabus posted within the 
"Course Information" area of the demo site. 

To Register 
You will also find a link on the demo site to register through the 
USDA Graduate School's web site. You can register online or print the 
registration form to register by mail. It's also possible to register 
by phone, and fax (see Registration information at:
http://grad.usda.gov 
for more details about all the options).

Enrolment will be limited to 25 participants and registration is done 
on a first-come first serve basis. I look forward to any feedback 
about the demo site. Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional 
information.
