Empowering Africa Through eLearning

ECA's approach to e-learning: In re-affirming the role of Academia, Universities and Research Institutions in the Information Society, the Economic Commission for Africa launched the Africa Learning Network (ALN), which was created to facilitate the effective use of ICTs in the learning and teaching process. The network operates on the premise that transformation in education and learning require a shift from traditional methods and that new technologies can create the opportunity for the best minds to exchange information across vast distances, both at the national level and throughout the Diaspora. Presentations and discussions in this session will cover the ALN initiatives and e-learning related activities.
