数字化发展

MSc Digital Development will train you to become a digital
development champion who possesses the necessary technical and
contextual skills to lead digital development and
information-and-communications-technology-for-development (ICT4D)
programmes and projects to completion, such as ICT-enabled enterprise,
e-government, m-health, MOOCs, etc. In recent years there has been - and continues to be - a massive
expansion in the number of digital development projects in developing
and transitional economies. With a skills shortage resulting in a high project failure rate, this
course satisfies the pressing need for digital development champions. By
taking this course, you will benefit from The University of
Manchester's world-leading       Centre for Digital Development
and gain: conceptual frameworks to understand the process of
socio-economic development and the role of information and of digital
technologies in the development process; new knowledge and skills to help in the effective planning,
development, implementation and management of digital development/ICT4D
initiatives.A range of optional course units provides an opportunity to
satisfy specialist digital development champion knowledge and skill
requirements, while the field visits that we normally offer will enable
you to build up your real-world experience at no additional cost.The course is designed for those applying, or seeking to apply,
digital information and communication technologies in pursuit of
socio-economic development goals. It will include those who have, or plan to have direct design and
implementation responsibilities, project managerial responsibilities,
or broader strategic or policy-related responsibilities. Typical
participants include: early-career professionals who have found themselves involved
with digital development/ICT4D projects and want a period to reflect,
learn and broaden their impact and career horizons; technical staff involved with digital development/ICT4D
projects who wish to add systems, managerial and development skills to
their portfolio; computing graduates who wish to make ethical use of their
skills but lack the necessary understanding of systems and development.
