Master of Law in Information and Communication Technology Law (LL.M ICTL)

The Master of Law in Information and Communication Technology Law (LL.M ICTL) formerly known as Master of Law in Information Technology and Telecommunications (LL.M IT & T) has been on offer at the Open University of Tanzania since 2009, a period of ten years. The programme has never been reviewed for all that period. Besides the fact that the programme review is a requirement that has prompted the present review, the last ten years have also seen new development in information and communication technology. Of particular importance is the rise of social media, cloud computing, Internet of Things as well as big data, all of which have given rise to academic debates as to legal and regulatory issues. In some jurisdictions law reforms have taken place in response to the rise of new technologies. This is also the case at regional and international levels where new conventions have been adopted or the existing ones reviewed. The rise of the new technologies as well as the legal and policy debates have been a catalyst to the review of the master of law programme in order to take into account such development. It is also important to mention that the last ten years have seen new development of e-learning at the Open University of Tanzania. Particularly, the adoption of Moodle as a mode of delivery has made it possible for students to participate in learning at a distance. This is also one of the reasons that have necessitated the present programme review.
