“…However, the study was motivated by previous works of scholars such as Paradza's [8] working paper (which was published by the International Land Coalition) and Chigbu et al's [5] operational guide for land-use planning (which was published by the Global Land Tool Network). The two publications raised questions concerning how women's land tenure challenges should be tackled from a differentially efficient perspective [8], and what approach should be followed to achieve equal and equitable land access and secure tenure for all [5]. These two critical issues led this study to engage to answer the question, how can equitable access to land be achieved for women of all social and occupational classes in SSA?…”

“…One study specifically found that Western Non-Governmental Organisations tend to put "third world women" in one basket [22]. In the context of land, a large amount of existing literature on land tenure reforms assumes a homogeneity of women's land tenure experiences [5,[23][24][25][26][27]. Even within the policymaking arena in SSA countries, women are often treated as an undifferentiated unit [8].…”

“…Tenure security is a precondition for sustaining livelihoods in human settlements [4]. It comprises the elements of the periodicity of holding and occupying land, and the certainty a landowner or holder of land rights has that his or her property right is protected from vested interests or more powerful individuals, including the government [5]. Periodicity applies to duration, while certainty entails the assurance of the protection of property rights [6].…”

Most literature on land tenure in sub-Saharan Africa has presented women as a homogenous group. This study uses evidence from Ghana, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe to show that women have differentiated problems, needs, and statuses in their quest for land access and tenure security. It illustrates how women-to-women differences influence women’s access to land. By investigating differentiations in women’s land tenure in the three countries, the study identifies multiple and somewhat interlinked ways in which differentiations exist in women’s land tenure. It achieved some key outcomes. The findings include a matrix of factors that differentiate women’s land access and tenure security, a visualisation of women’s differentiation in land tenure showing possible modes for actions, and an adaptable approach for operationalising women’s differentiation in land tenure policies (among others). Using these as evidence, it argues that women are a highly differentiated gender group, and the only thing homogenous in the three cases is that women are heterogeneous in their land tenure experiences. It concludes that an emphasis on how the differentiation among women allows for significant insight to emerge into how they experience tenure access differently is essential in improving the tenure security of women. Finally, it makes policy recommendations.

“…Between 2014 and 2018, the Chair of Land Management at TUM and its partners (such as GLTN and GIZ) developed two E-learning tools for capacity improvement for land matters, which differ significantly in content, target-group, and technical implementation [11]: Tenure Responsive Land Use Planning (TR-LUP) tool; ILMx MOOC. The TR-LUP tool, under the agreement on cooperation between UN-Habitat, GIZ, and TUM in 2013, is one of the end-products for implementing the development of a land use planning tool and training package within the programme Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) [12]. As an autonomous module editing platform, Creyoco-an authoring tool developed by TUM-play an important role in arranging learning content and objects.…”

“…As an autonomous module editing platform, Creyoco-an authoring tool developed by TUM-play an important role in arranging learning content and objects. It is a free open source software and designed for interactive training packages to be completed easily without any previous technical knowledge and massive data transfer [11,13,14]. Alongside developing TR-LUP tool, the first version of ILMx MOOC-as one of the 'MOOC for MASTERS' initiatives at TUM in 2016-was officially released to the public on edX from September 2017 to January 2018.…”

Increasing globalization and the emergence of disruptive learning technologies have derived a pedagogical paradigm shift from the conventional on-campus higher education to the digital and online higher education. Massive open online courses (MOOCs), especially, are the most notable manifestation of educational transformation. We developed a MOOC entitled Introduction to Land Management (ILMx MOOC) for potential entrants to the land management domain, or for those who simply want to become aware of land-related challenges and brought together with thousands of participants worldwide with freely accessible course content and rooms for open discussion. Our experience with ILMx MOOC has accumulated new knowledge and insight across a broad range of questioning on how to design and develop alternative courseware and teach using digital learning technologies in land management. This paper examines an account of emerging patterns of demographics, geography, and course engagement throughout the ILMx MOOC. We found that the subject of land management in digital higher education affects gender gaps in enrolments. We also assume that the topic of land management has been globally recognized as an important nexus to guide professionals in international development studies and practices as well as sustainability research. However, new behavioral patterns of learners were also observed. They participated in the learning process very enthusiastically only during the first month of the course and this seems to be due to lack of motivation and interest to induce learners efficiently into the learning content. We believe that the culture of excellence in land management needs to be accompanied by engaged excellence and new forms of educational culture and work processes. This means that the high-quality and rigorous knowledge we produce and accumulate is coupled closely with new styles of educational development and delivery, new types of resources and hardware, and extensive engagement with countries, localities, people, and practices of those who handle land matters.
