Anju Mangal, PICISOC Women in Technology (WIT) Special Interest Group
Despite the fact that there is a labour shortage in the IT sector, the pool of qualified women remains small due to the low enrollment rates in relevant university courses. WIT or Women in Information Technology is an emergent group of young Pacific women already involved in ICT activities of the Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society which aims to develop a network within the Pacific Islands of women who are ICT professionals with the primary objective of advancing women in ICT. This paper aims to identify the major challenges faced by women, to identify and address the barriers that may be keeping women out of the ICT sector and discover ways to overcome the challenges. WIT will make a commitment to ensure that the aptitude of the whole workforce is utilized, regardless of gender and that the talent and experience of all women working in ICT will help PICISOC formulate achievable outcomes.

10:00-10:15 Update on the Solomon Islands Distance Learning Centres Project (DLCP)
Phillip Pukefenu, Solomon Islands People First Network (PFNet)
This presentation will provide an update on the Solomon Islands Distance Learning Centres Project (DLCP). DLCP is an EU-funded SchoolNet? project that is establishing a distance learning centre (DLC) in a rural Community High School in each of nine provinces. Each will be equipped with broadband Internet, via an especially-established VSAT network with solar power and equipped with laptop computers, scanner, printers and conferencing equipment. The project is implemented by the People First Network (PFnet), whose HF radio email network has been serving up to 25 rural communities since 2001. DLCP has also deployed the open learning management system Moodle, an interactive conferencing platform, a Pacific Islands teachers' community site and has access to a range of other platforms and resources. Partners include UNESCO, CoL, LNQ, USP, SICHE, SIARTC and others. The centres will be manned by qualified and trained "supervisors", who are mostly graduates with a teaching background and with IT skills. Champion Teachers are also appointed to coordinate the schools' usage. The first centre to come online will be St. Stephen's College, Pamua, Makira Province, from the end of August 2006. The others will be deployed in stages through until mid-2007. DLCP is also deploying one-way satellite receivers in nine PFnet email stations to receive educational multimedia content over the Worldspace network with no connection charges.

The proposal is to develop a template project that could be used by any Ministry of Edcuation to seek funding to improve their educational outcomes. The proposal will consist of training for Ministry staff and teachers on how to use ICTs in their cirriculum and the Networking of schools to a common set of state of the art digital educational material. Access to this material will be free of charge. Computer suites and Local Area Networking for each school will also be included in the proposal.

15:15-15:30 Afternoon Break
15:30-16:15 Solution Focused Management and Restoring Unplanned IT Outages
Katherine O’Callaghan? and Sugumar Mariappandar, Australian Catholic University
The cost of an unplanned outage in a corporation’s information technology services can be millions of dollars in lost revenue, damaged brand image, and dissatisfied customers. While all industries accept that unplanned outages will occur, most invest in preventing outages rather than restoring service once an outage occurs. The application of Total Quality Management programs, Six Sigma measurements, and Capabilities Maturity Models have not provided the availability levels required by most businesses. Fifty-four percent of companies surveyed identified the cost of downtime at more than USD 50,000 per hour. By applying solution focused management when an unplanned it outage occurs, the teams accountable for restoring service are better able to expedite the return of service and decrease the Mean Time to Restore that service
16:15-17:00 The CABLE Approach for Teaching Computer Programming. An e-learning initiative
Ioana ChanMow?, National University of Samoa
This paper describes two studies on the effectiveness of a cognitive apprenticeship-based learning environment (CABLE) in the teaching of computer programming. The paper firstly identifies problems and issues in teaching and learning programming and then proposes a pedagogical model CABLE as a potential solution to these problems. The aim of the two studies was to evaluate the effectiveness of CABLE as a learning environment. The CABLE environment employs a combination of practices such as directive support, responsive cognitive apprenticeship, collaborative learning, stimulating metacognition, and using e-learning technologies such as email, and online notes hosted within a Moodle environment. In the first study, students who participated within the CABLE project scored more highly on test scores, relative to comparable students who did not participate within CABLE, but these effects were found to be restricted to high ability students. In the second study, students who participated within CABLE scored more highly than those participating within the non-CABLE group. However with an enhanced CABLE environment the benefits of CABLE were now evident in both ability groups, with the effects being more prominent within the low ability group.

Tiafau Douglas Creevey, Digicel (Samoa) Limited
With new GSM Cellular operating licenses being awarded recently in Samoa and Fiji, the regional footprint has been initiated for the newest Telecommunications entrant into the Pacific, DIGICEL. With its GSM footprint now in 16 countries of the Caribbean island nations, Digicel Limited is now the largest GSM mobile operator in that region, after only 5 years of operation. The network rollout has begun for Digicel Samoa Limited, and it aims to launch the first phase of its network towards the year end of 2006. The excitement of the Digicel Samoa network is that it will introduce the latest features of digital mobile technology into the country. This is especially exciting for many rural areas, where both the resident population and foreign visitors still do not have reliable accessibility or limited opportunities to connect to the outside world via personal voice telecommunications services or the Internet. Providing reliable and extensive digital communications media with GSM will open up enormous opportunities throughout all rural and remote areas to finally experience and enjoy the full potential of Information Technology!

15:45-16:15 Rapidly Deployable Wireless Networks
Prof. Murray Pearson, Waikato University
The Waikato Universality is investigating the potential of wireless networks to enable the rapid deployment of temporary networks. These networks could be used for anything from coverage for a special village event through to the use by civil defence in the event of a natural disaster.The goal of this project is to develop a set of wireless nodes and methodology that would enable a moderate sized wireless network to be deployed in a couple of hours using minimal levels of expertise. The project is made up of two major components: the packaging of hardware into a suitable form for rapid deployment and the development of software to minimise the effort and expertise necessary for rapid deployment of a wireless network. Different node types range from a portable node that could be backpacked into a remote site through to a trailer based unit. Each of the nodes is being designed to be fully self-contained including all of the equipment necessary to setup, configure and run the node

Anju Mangal, SPC
Participatory 3D modeling (P3DM) has been widely used in conjunction with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) applications. A solid knowledge and extensive experience has been gained in South East Asia in practicing Participatory GIS (PGIS) in the contexts of collaborative natural resource management and customary rights on resource tenure. In this context PGIS combines a range of geo-spatial information management tools to represent peoples’ spatial knowledge in the forms of virtual or physical, 2 or 3 dimensional maps used as interactive vehicles for spatial learning, discussion, information exchange, analysis, decision making advocacy. In January 2005, P3DM exercise was carried out in Levuka, Fiji on the 4th – 13th April, 2005. Later on in August 2005, a follow-up workshop was conducted using the completed 3D Model for the community’s Resource Management plan and creation and endorsement
