In this comprehensive course, we will delve into the critical issue of electronic waste (e-waste) on a global scale. E-waste, comprising discarded electronic devices and equipment, presents a growing environmental and societal challenge. This course aims to provide you with a comprehensive overview of this issue, incorporating the latest statistics and legislative developments sourced from the Global E-waste Monitor and the Global E-waste Statistics Partnership.

The Inclusive Learning Design course is a free, self-paced online course to help learning professionals create training that is accessible, equitable, and meaningful for diverse audiences. Grounded in the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy and UNITAR’s Gender and Inclusivity Frameworks, the course provides practical guidance on integrating gender equality, disability inclusion, intercultural sensitivity, and accessibility considerations throughout the entire training cycle, from analysis and design to implementation and evaluation. Participants explore real-world scenarios, practical tools, and downloadable resources to help ensure that no learner is left behind.

This course focuses on technical, business and regulatory aspects of Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It covers Internet technologies for IoT, then IoT standards, architectures and interoperability, as well as IoT policies and regulations, including IoT security and privacy issues. The course includes IoT services in 4G and 5G mobile systems, including massive IoT and critical IoT use cases. The IoT generates large amounts of data that cannot be processed by traditional techniques, and such data is referred to as Big Data. In that manner, the course includes Big Data overview, Big Data ecosystem and reference architecture, Big Data technologies and use cases, as well as business and regulatory challenges for Big Data. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is targeted for processing Big Data in Internet and telecom networks. In that regard the course covers introduction to AI in ICT/telecom world, and AI applications in Internet and telecom environments, including Machine Learning aspects for 5G mobile networks. The course further includes Big Data and AI challenges, business aspects, as well as policies and regulation. Finally, the course covers governance of IoT, Big Data, and AI.

WFP aims to integrate a human-centred design approach into all the technology solutions it develops. When it comes to large and complex organizations like WFP, a human-centred design approach involves ensuring that all services are designed well with the user at the centre. This training course will give you an understanding of the human-centred design approach, where service design comes in, why it is so valuable, and how it can be applied in an organization like WFP.
