The community groups who participated in the project were entered into a prize draw, the winner of which was the recipient of a free "extreme IT makeover".

We are very pleased to announce the winner as the Women’s Networking Hub. The Hub is the inspiration of women all over the world but brought to you by one or two individuals who are trying to connect great women up with other great women! The hub came to fruition in January 2009 in recognition of the many silent voices of disenfranchised women & girls within our communities that are not heard. More information can be found here: http://www.womensnetworkinghub.com/

The makeover comprised a visit from computing researchers who arranged to visit and discuss existing IT and web setup and ways in which a move could be made into Web 2.0, mobile platforms, social networking and all it implies!)

We ran a very successful virtual workshop in SL yesterday, and had some interesting data from the groups that presented. We hope it will complement the data we are getting from our UK groups as well.

Still gathering data

We are currently in the process of carrying out case study interviews and completing a literature review and analysis of our survey data. We are hoping to have some results available on this website after the end of the project probably in July 2011 sometime.

DTCC Project progressing well.

Hi there,

The Digital Technologies Connecting Communities Project (DTCC) started on the 1st January 2011. We are very keen to discover how groups use and adapt digital technologies to achieve their goals. We have a very busy schedule for the duration of the project, and will update this blog on a regular basis as it progresses.
