  3. Communication for Development Comdev has been offered as a web-based Master course at Malmö University since 2000. From the outset, the concept was a rethinking of communication and development in the light of globalization, conducted through a combination of seminars and individual assessments and finally implemented in a Project Work, preferably although not necessarily in a developing country.

  4. Communication for Development When the program started for the third year, in August 2002, a group of 15 international students were enrolled and English became the official language of instruction. Since then the number of international students has constantly increased. Over the last two years, the majority of participants have been of non-Scandinavian origin.

  5. Communication for Development Recruitment 2000 100% Scandinavian students 2002 75% Scandinavian students 25% Non-Scandinavian students 40% Scandinavian students 60% Non-Scandinavian students (30% from developing countries) 2004

  6. Communication for Development Course curriculum The Comdev program consists of six modules: • Globalization and Communication(9 ECTS credits)• Post-Colonial Perspectives(6 credits)• Development Cooperation and Communication(7,5 credits)• Culture and Media Analysis (7,5 credits)• ICT and Development(7,5 credits)• Project Work(22,5 credits)

  7. Communication for Development Pedagogy • ComDev was designed for the web and its pedagogy is based on realizing the enormous learning potential of the Internet. • Combination live seminars and online communication • Joint time-line • Process-oriented learning • Group-dynamics,Peer reviews • Transparency • Open website, no e-mail

  8. Communication for Development Week-end Seminars • Six week-end seminars are held during the four semester program. Normally they take place in Malmö, but we intend to arrange at least one of the seminars elsewhere. • Stockholm (January 2001) • Sarajevo (December 2003) • Gothenburg (February 2005) • Istanbul (October 2005) • Durban (November 2006) • The seminars remain a corner-stone of the ComDev pedagogy For overseas students who cannot attend (all) the seminars in person, it is possible to follow them on-line.

  9. Communication for Development Live Lecture For overseas students who cannot attend (all) the seminars in person, it is possible to follow them on-line by Live Lecture

  10. Communication for Development Video conference Face-to-face communication is used as a supplement to live lecture and text chat, during on-line examinations and on-line guidance sessions.

  11. Communication for Development Examination Assessment is made through a combination of group work and individual assignments. The individual assignments vary from traditional examination of the course literature to essays and academic papers. The final Project Work corresponds to the Master Thesis. K3 intends to bridge the gap between artistic and academic presentations. We welcome creative work as part of the assignments and we see form and content as intrinsically connected. However, artistic submissions must still meet the academic requirements, either integrated into work itself (essay, documentary etc.) or as a separate reflection upon applied theories and methods and chosen form.

  12. Communication for Development Project Work The project work is the final examination of the masters program. It includes planning, implementation, and analysis of a study in the field(s) of media, globalization, and international development cooperation. The work can be linked to an existing development aid project of which media and communication form an integral part.
