From: Raul Aguilera <raul.aguilera(a)educationforpurpose.org> Dear Yosem, My name is Raul Aguilera, and I am with a non-profit organization called Education for Purpose (edufp.org) based out of Omaha, Nebraska. I saw your name on LinkedIn and thought I would share about our organization. Education for Purpose through the College Prep Program seeks to develop best practices for taking the ACT and SAT and share them online, free of charge, for use by high school students across and beyond the US. This includes videos explaining how to solve ACT/SAT practice problems. The target audience for CollegePrep material will be students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds who can benefit immensely in the college application process from even small improvements in their ACT/SAT scores. Here is the link to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG8TBwGzxTfEXCsOdfqo4Hg Here is the link <https://goo.gl/UNT0H3> (https://goo.gl/UNT0H3) to sign up. Let me know your thoughts! We are actively recruiting contributors to assist with video content. We would immensely appreciate if you would forward this to the Stanford distribution list. I thank you for taking the time to read my message. All the best, Raul Aguilera SAT/ACT Prep Program Leader E: raul.aguilera(a)edufp.org | C:402.281.2692 <(402)%20281-2692>

ICTD Notes are due on the 14th of July!
by Richard Anderson 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Here is the link to the notes submission site: https://ictd2017.cs.washington.edu/note/ With a 4-page limit, Notes are intended to introduce work-in-progress that may be published later in a journal, as well as to document shorter project write-ups. An ICTD Note is likely to have a more focused and succinct research contribution to the ICTD field than Full Papers. For example, Notes on novel ICTD systems may not cover the entire design of the system but may instead go into depth in specific areas (e.g., how the system was evaluated with real users or how the formative work to create the system was conducted). Notes are also not expected to include a discussion of related work that is as broad and complete as that of a submission to the Full Papers venue. Accepted Notes will be presented as poster presentations at the conference. This year we are also introducing short oral presentations (in addition to posters) for top notes based on the recommendations of reviewers. Notes will be evaluated by at least two multidisciplinary reviewers in a double-blind fashion and will be assessed according to their research contribution, methodological soundness, quality of analysis, quality of writing, and presentation. Manuscripts considering novel designs, new technologies, project assessments, policy analyses, impact studies, theoretical contributions, social issues around ICT and development, and so forth will be considered. However Notes need not necessarily be as comprehensive, novel, or generalizable as Full Papers. Submissions Only original, unpublished, research papers in English will be considered. Notes must use the ACM templates<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates> (LaTex and Word) and must be no longer than 4 pages respectively. The main text, figures, tables, footnotes, references, etc. must fit within these page limits. Additional material may be included in an Appendix, but the text within the page limits must read as a standalone work. Submissions longer than the page limits, not in the template format, not related to the conference themes, and/or not meeting a minimum bar of academic research writing will be rejected without full review. Submitted Notes must not include names or other information that would identify the authors. All accepted Notes will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. Copyright for Notes will be retained by the authors. Over the past several decades, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become more pervasive, accessible, and relevant in the lives of people around the world. Virtually no sphere of human activity remains apart from ICTs, from markets to health care, education to governance, family life to artistic expression. Diverse groups across the world interact with, are affected by, and can shape the design of these technologies. The ICTD conference is a place to understand these interactions, and to examine, critique, and refine the persistent, pervasive hope that ICTs can be enlisted by individuals and communities in the service of human development. There are multidisciplinary challenges associated with the engineering, application, and adoption of ICTs in developing regions and/or for development, with implications for design, policy, and practice. For the purposes of this conference, the term “ICT” comprises electronic technologies for information processing and communication, as well as systems, interventions, and platforms that are built on such technologies. “Development” includes, but is not restricted to, poverty alleviation, education, agriculture, healthcare, general communication, gender equality, governance, infrastructure, environment, and sustainable livelihoods. The conference program will reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ICTD research, with anticipated contributions from fields including,but not limited to, anthropology, computer science, communication, design, economics, electrical engineering, geography, human-computer interaction, information science, information systems, political science, public health, and sociology.

FYI for UW mHealth folks. Please consider contributing your own mHealth work. Nancy Puttkammer, MPH, PhD Research and Evaluation Advisor, International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH) Acting Assistant Professor, Department of Global Health, University of Washington 325 Ninth Ave, Box # 359932 Seattle, WA 98104 Tel: +1 (206) 616-5139 FAX: +1 (206) 221-4945 Skype ID: nancy.puttkammer Website: http://www.go2itech.org I-TECH envisions a world in which all people have access to high quality, compassionate, and equitable health care. -----Original Message----- From: mhealth(a)my.ibpinitiative.org [mailto:mhealth@my.ibpinitiative.org] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2017 6:56 AM To: Global Digital Health Network <mhealth(a)my.ibpinitiative.org> Subject: [globaldigitalhealthnetwork] WHO Call for research findings on digital health interventions by 15 Sept 2017 for guidelines Dear Colleagues, This is a global call for research finding papers on digital health interventions for submission by 15 September 2017. Please feel free to share this announcement widely. In response to a global need for evidence-based global recommendations on the use of digital health interventions available via mobile device, the WHO Department of Reproductive Health and Research (RHR) in collaboration with other WHO departments has commenced the process of developing WHO Guidelines. As part of this process, over the coming months, a series of systematic reviews of research evidence have been commissioned on specific digital health topics noted below. We are requesting from the global community any and all relevant primary studies that should be considered for inclusion in the systematic reviews. This is your opportunity to contribute to the literature that will be included in the systematic reviews that will be informing WHO Guidelines on Digital Health Interventions. The digital intervention topics for the guideline will include: • Targeted client communication accessible via mobile devices (e.g. health promotion messaging, appointment/medication reminders) • Remote client to provider communication accessible via mobile devices • Provider to provider communication accessible via mobile devices • Electronic decision support accessible via mobile devices • Tracking client health records, digital service records (e.g. digitized versions of health service registers) accessible via mobile devices • Birth notification and registration • Notification of stock levels and monitoring of health commodities The Guidelines will systematically consolidate evidence of effectiveness related to these digital health interventions, as well as review associated feasibility, costs, and risks, in order to formulate concrete recommendations to inform evidence-based investments and prioritization. Studies can focus on issues related to effectiveness, equity, resource use acceptability, feasibility, or resource use/cost-effectiveness, and: • Can be from any setting • Can be both published or unpublished • Can include both randomised and non-randomised studies and qualitative studies, although we will have a threshold for study quality depending on the intervention. The systematic review team will review all submitted papers and determine if they fulfill the inclusion criteria. We ask that you please submit any papers you are aware of to nhenschke(a)cochrane.org by 15 September for 2017 to be considered for inclusion. Materials received after this date will not be considered for the review process leading to the Guideline. Thank you for your ongoing interest in this process, Sincerely, Dr. Garrett Mehl ___________________ Garrett Mehl, PhD, MHS Scientist, Digital Health Research Department of Reproductive Health and Research, includes HRP - the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Programme of Research in Human Reproduction World Health Organization 20 Avenue Appia Geneva 1211 Switzerland +41 22 791 4915 __________ _____________________________________________ http://www.globaldigitalhealthnetwork.org http://www.globaldigitalhealthforum.org You are receiving this message because you're a member of the community Global Digital Health Network.
