PLENARY SESSIONS

                                              On Thursday morning, eLearning Africa 2010 officially kicked off with the
                                              opening plenary, chaired by the Zambian Minister of Education, Hon. Dora
                                              Siliya, MP. The first speaker was Rt Rev Dr S. Tilewa Johnson, Anglican Bishop
                                              of Gambia, who delivered a rousing address on the online social education of
                                              young African people. “The Internet flattens any hierarchies, bridges social gaps,
                                              brings me closer to you and, paradoxically, makes all our serious connections
                                              more authentic. I witness how this helps young people to learn values and
                                              how it helps in the planning of positive community actions,” Johnson stated
                                              in his keynote speech. He encouraged the audience to explore how digital
                                              technologies can stay in touch with the traditions of Africa, and he called upon
                                              older generations to respect the changing needs of African youth.

                                              The “Twittering Bishop” set the tone for eLearning Africa this year. With many
                                              participants twittering the latest news, the conference demonstrated first hand
                                              how social networking is taking off in Africa.

                                              In the same session, Shafika Isaacs, an independent ICT4D consultant from South
                                              Africa, reflected on the transformation of the educational systems in Africa.
                                              NComputing CEO Stephen Dukker spoke about how desktop virtualisation is
                                              facilitating learning in schools in Africa.

  eLearning Africa programme 2010             The opening plenary was concluded with a speech by Zambia’s Vice President,

                                       for social and economic development in Africa. Tarkan Maner, Wyse Technology,

students. In his keynote address, Hon. Prof Jumanne A. Maghembe, MP, Minister of Education and Vocational Training,

tomorrow’s world if we equip them with yesterday’s skills,” he said.

eLEARNING AFRICA DEBATE

                                         The annual eLearning Africa Debate was chaired this year by former British
                                         parliamentarian Dr Harold Elletson of the New Security Foundation, UK, and
                                         Dr Katherine Getao from NEPAD.

                                         “Despite the global financial crisis, Africa must continue to invest in ICTs for
                                         education, and 1:1 computing provides the most affordable, educationally rich
                                         computing solution,” was the topic under discussion this time.

                                         Questions were raised as to the most appropriate systems, providing best
                                         value for money. After a long and heated discussion in which all parties had
                                         the opportunity to make their point and which saw active participation from
                                         the audience, Alex Twinomugisha (GeSCI) and Anthony Bloome (USAID) were
                                         declared winners of the debate for the opposition, arguing that 1:1 computing
                                         was not an affordable educational investment in African systems.

                                         The main conclusion to be drawn was that priority should be given to teacher
                                         training before making any significant investment in the infrastructure.

TEACHERS’ FORUM

                                         The first eLearning Africa Teachers’ Forum, jointly organised by IICD, the eBrain
                                         Forum and ICWE, was met with considerable interest: More than one hundred
                                         teachers from all parts of Zambia attended the event at Lusaka’s Mulungushi
                                         International Conference Centre on Wednesday, May 26th. Tailored to the
                                         specific needs of African teachers, its programme encompassed inspiring
                                         presentations, audience debates and a ‘market place’ to demonstrate the use
                                         of ICTs in schools.

COMMENT                                  Christine Mulenga, who teaches biology and chemistry at Munali Girls High
                                         School in Lusaka, identified strongly with the challenges outlined in John

shift from teacher-focused to student-
focused teaching methods.”
                                         Yet despite these challenges, the teachers attending the Forum were highly
                                         motivated and intent on finding workable solutions. As one teacher put it:
Dr Samuel Babafemi Olaleye, Univer-
sity of Ibadan, Nigeria                  “When we go back to our schools we have to tell our young students that this
                                         is not about computers, it’s about a revolution.”



MINISTERIAL ROUND TABLE 2010

                                         This year’s Ministerial Round Table titled “Leadership for Creating Inclusive
                                         Education Systems: The Role of ICTs”, involved ministers, senior policy advisors
                                         and other relevant stakeholders from twenty-one countries, including
                                         Angola, Belgium, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ireland, Finland, Jordan, Kenya, Liberia,
                                         Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sweden, Tanzania, The
                                         Netherlands, USA, Zimbabwe and Zambia. It was opened by Zambia’s Minister
                                         of Education, Hon. Dora Siliya, and organised jointly by GeSCI, ICWE and IICD.      4
                                         The political decision-makers who were joined by representatives from major
                                         development agencies also discussed how the private sector and development
                                         partners can support national educational reform programmes, focusing on the
                                         implementation of advanced education technologies.

                                         Following the discussion, the ministers passed a directive on the use of ICTs
                                         for education. They expressed a desire to strengthen ICT competencies among
                                         teachers, which accounts for only ten percent of most countries’ ICT budgets,
                                         whereas spending on costly hardware, which accounts for ninety percent,
                                         should be reduced.



2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF

                                         This year’s most popular topics were mobile learning, open source and teacher
                                         development.

                                         The South African Shuttleworth Foundation showcased its “m4Lit” project, an
                                         mLearning campaign to encourage reading and writing among schoolchildren
                                         and young adults. A mystery story in English and Xhosa is available on a mobi
                                         site and a mobile instant messaging platform. Given that almost ninety percent
                                         of all South African teenagers in urban areas have access to mobile phones (but
                                         not to books), the participation rate is very high.

                                         A number of experts demonstrated inventive mobile solutions for health

                                         University of Zambia, illustrated how mobile phones can boost health awareness
                                         and health education in resource-poor and remote communities.
2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF




The conference also showcased a range of best practices of alternative energy sources such as solar energy, biofuels
and biogas. Prof Tony Rest of Southhampton University, UK, and Keith Wilkinson, a teacher at the International School
at Lusaka, presented their inventive low-power-low-cost solar energy generating system: Solar panels are linked to a
Dell M109S projector which is used as a multimedia resource for teaching sciences. The solar panels can be mounted in
the remotest areas – even on the back of a camel.

  COMMENTS

 “The conference was excellent. It was a perfect opportunity to learn best practices from professionals and experts from various
 institutions all over the world. It gave me an opportunity to make comparisons between what I can and cannot do, inspired me to
 learn more so as to fill the gap in my knowledge and apply the same to support teaching and learning in Africa.”
 Charles Omondi Lwande, University of Nairobi, Kenya

 “Well done. I really enjoyed the conference and especially meeting with a lot of new people from different African institutions and
 from around the world.”

2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF




Practitioners and researchers provided vital insights into gender and inclusion issues. Alice Nankya Ndidde of Makarere
University presented her work on the use of ICTs by female and male educators and learners in Uganda, noting that
while institutional policies largely supported equity of access to computers, current ‘use’ data showed that for both
educators and learners, males have an advantage. Her results were echoed in the pan-African study by Prof Thierry
Karsenti of the Université de Montréal, which looked at ICT integration in teacher training.

With FIFA World Cup fever hitting South Africa and the rest of the world, eLearning Africa 2010 combined its two
most popular topics: football and eLearning. Adam Salkeld from Tinopolis Interactive, UK, explained how football can
break down cultural barriers, showing a film on the Zanzibar Beach Boys – a group of teenagers who “eLearn” English
because of their passion for British football teams.

2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF




Dr Stijn van der Krogt from IICD hosted a panel discussion on local versus externally generated content. Panellists Bart
Cornille from VVOB, Zambia, Dr Alexander Edwards, University of Education Ghana, Keiko Chiemy Ignacio Campero from
AMC EDUCATIC Bolivia, Jürgen Riester from APCOB, Bolivia, and Victor Mensah, OER Foundation Zambia, joined by over
eighty participants, took part in a great and challenging debate. While recognising that local content development is a
priority for Africa, some participants remarked that due to the lack of infrastructure and teachers’ skills there is still only
a little African content available. The panellists argued that given the current eLearning facilities, any dedicated teacher
could publish his or her own content, and also take advantage of the rich cultural heritage of the continent.

A range of Special Focus Sessions further enriched the conference, with Pixel Corps showing how eSkills can quickly make
a worldwide online market available to trained individuals. The session on African Digital Diaries presented portraits of
new informal ad hoc eLearning on the continent, with speakers ranging from the Bishop of Gambia to straightforward
practitioners from Zambia and Zimbabwe. National stakeholders from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and the USA shared their
experiences about USAID activities in the region. Gerard Cunningham from UNEP presented a Special Focus Session on the
application of ICT in addressing the major environmental challenges facing the planet.

  • 3. PLENARY SESSIONS On Thursday morning, eLearning Africa 2010 officially kicked off with the opening plenary, chaired by the Zambian Minister of Education, Hon. Dora Siliya, MP. The first speaker was Rt Rev Dr S. Tilewa Johnson, Anglican Bishop of Gambia, who delivered a rousing address on the online social education of young African people. “The Internet flattens any hierarchies, bridges social gaps, brings me closer to you and, paradoxically, makes all our serious connections more authentic. I witness how this helps young people to learn values and how it helps in the planning of positive community actions,” Johnson stated in his keynote speech. He encouraged the audience to explore how digital technologies can stay in touch with the traditions of Africa, and he called upon older generations to respect the changing needs of African youth. The “Twittering Bishop” set the tone for eLearning Africa this year. With many participants twittering the latest news, the conference demonstrated first hand how social networking is taking off in Africa. In the same session, Shafika Isaacs, an independent ICT4D consultant from South Africa, reflected on the transformation of the educational systems in Africa. NComputing CEO Stephen Dukker spoke about how desktop virtualisation is facilitating learning in schools in Africa. eLearning Africa programme 2010 The opening plenary was concluded with a speech by Zambia’s Vice President, in a nutshell: Hon.

  • 4. eLEARNING AFRICA DEBATE The annual eLearning Africa Debate was chaired this year by former British parliamentarian Dr Harold Elletson of the New Security Foundation, UK, and Dr Katherine Getao from NEPAD. “Despite the global financial crisis, Africa must continue to invest in ICTs for education, and 1:1 computing provides the most affordable, educationally rich computing solution,” was the topic under discussion this time. Questions were raised as to the most appropriate systems, providing best value for money. After a long and heated discussion in which all parties had the opportunity to make their point and which saw active participation from the audience, Alex Twinomugisha (GeSCI) and Anthony Bloome (USAID) were declared winners of the debate for the opposition, arguing that 1:1 computing was not an affordable educational investment in African systems. The main conclusion to be drawn was that priority should be given to teacher training before making any significant investment in the infrastructure. PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS One key element of the eLearning Africa agenda began the day before the main programme: On Wednesday, May 26th, a wide range of optional pre-con- ference events took place. In twenty full-day and half-day seminars and work- shops – most of which were fully booked – participants had the opportunity to deepen and extend their practical knowledge in different aspects of ICT for education and development. 3 4th African UNESCO-UNEVOC Creating Policies for Successful TVET Summit: “Flexible Learning: eLearning Programmes From TVET Policy to Skills Training Practice” Sharing Awareness – Lifelong Well-Being for Communities: Pan-African eLearning for the Improving Health and Creating Environment Network Change at the Community Level Using ICT The African Virtual University: Increasing Access to Quality Envisioning Our Global Learning Education and Training Beyond Future Technological, Language and Cultural Barriers OER Collaborative Content Development Training Using Wiki Training of Trainers for Use of ICT Platforms in Higher Education Duplicability of Grassroots A Participatory Design Workshop Concept to Inspire Educators to on Mobile Learning for Use ICT in Education Development Developing Strategies for Hands-On Video and Computer Involving African Teachers in COMMENT Graphics Lab eLearning Practices “Once again our participation in Using ICT to Avail Continuity of Learner Devices – From Policy eLearning Africa was enriching and fruitful.

  • 5. TEACHERS’ FORUM The first eLearning Africa Teachers’ Forum, jointly organised by IICD, the eBrain Forum and ICWE, was met with considerable interest: More than one hundred teachers from all parts of Zambia attended the event at Lusaka’s Mulungushi International Conference Centre on Wednesday, May 26th. Tailored to the specific needs of African teachers, its programme encompassed inspiring presentations, audience debates and a ‘market place’ to demonstrate the use of ICTs in schools. COMMENT Christine Mulenga, who teaches biology and chemistry at Munali Girls High School in Lusaka, identified strongly with the challenges outlined in John “The eLearning Africa conference was Stephen Agbenyo’s presentation about the status of ICT in schools in Ghana: an eye-opener for me on the need to huge classes, Internet problems, electricity shortages and a high staff turnover. shift from teacher-focused to student- focused teaching methods.” Yet despite these challenges, the teachers attending the Forum were highly motivated and intent on finding workable solutions. As one teacher put it: Dr Samuel Babafemi Olaleye, Univer- sity of Ibadan, Nigeria “When we go back to our schools we have to tell our young students that this is not about computers, it’s about a revolution.” MINISTERIAL ROUND TABLE 2010 This year’s Ministerial Round Table titled “Leadership for Creating Inclusive Education Systems: The Role of ICTs”, involved ministers, senior policy advisors and other relevant stakeholders from twenty-one countries, including Angola, Belgium, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ireland, Finland, Jordan, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sweden, Tanzania, The Netherlands, USA, Zimbabwe and Zambia. It was opened by Zambia’s Minister of Education, Hon. Dora Siliya, and organised jointly by GeSCI, ICWE and IICD. 4 The political decision-makers who were joined by representatives from major development agencies also discussed how the private sector and development partners can support national educational reform programmes, focusing on the implementation of advanced education technologies. Following the discussion, the ministers passed a directive on the use of ICTs for education. They expressed a desire to strengthen ICT competencies among teachers, which accounts for only ten percent of most countries’ ICT budgets, whereas spending on costly hardware, which accounts for ninety percent, should be reduced. 2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF This year’s most popular topics were mobile learning, open source and teacher development. The South African Shuttleworth Foundation showcased its “m4Lit” project, an mLearning campaign to encourage reading and writing among schoolchildren and young adults. A mystery story in English and Xhosa is available on a mobi site and a mobile instant messaging platform. Given that almost ninety percent of all South African teenagers in urban areas have access to mobile phones (but not to books), the participation rate is very high. A number of experts demonstrated inventive mobile solutions for health development. Kwabena N. Obiri-Mainoo, MKFC/eCAP Ghana Foundation, Derrick Mwiinga Hamavhwa, Zambia Forum for Health Research, Momodou Gassama, World Health Organization from Gambia and Julie Schurgers, University of Zambia, illustrated how mobile phones can boost health awareness and health education in resource-poor and remote communities.
  • 6. 2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF The conference also showcased a range of best practices of alternative energy sources such as solar energy, biofuels and biogas. Prof Tony Rest of Southhampton University, UK, and Keith Wilkinson, a teacher at the International School at Lusaka, presented their inventive low-power-low-cost solar energy generating system: Solar panels are linked to a Dell M109S projector which is used as a multimedia resource for teaching sciences. The solar panels can be mounted in the remotest areas – even on the back of a camel. Participant Satisfaction 2010 As for the production of biofuels, the Biofuels Association of Zambia showcased the jatropha seed and its products. Prof Thomson Sinkala pointed Overall Evaluation out that to improve the standard of living, a switch has to be made from low- Conference Programme quality energy sources such as firewood and charcoal to better quality energy very good sources such as biofuels and biogas.

COMMENTS “The conference was excellent. It was a perfect opportunity to learn best practices from professionals and experts from various institutions all over the world. It gave me an opportunity to make comparisons between what I can and cannot do, inspired me to learn more so as to fill the gap in my knowledge and apply the same to support teaching and learning in Africa.” Charles Omondi Lwande, University of Nairobi, Kenya “Well done. I really enjoyed the conference and especially meeting with a lot of new people from different African institutions and from around the world.” Igor Lesko, OpenCourseWare Consortium, USA “I networked with many valuable future collaborators and gained fruitful insights. The conference was a hugely beneficial event for us and I believe many also enjoyed hearing and sharing what we have developed in the field of QR Codes. In total excellent!” Gregory George Smith, NiMBLE, South Africa “Another wonderful and fantastic eLA, we feel at home every year and we really appreciate all the help, effort and support we receive from you in person and from your entire team. Once again it was worth it for us.” Maggy Beukes-Amiss, Namibia eLearning Centre (NeLC), Namibia
  • 7. 2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF Practitioners and researchers provided vital insights into gender and inclusion issues. Alice Nankya Ndidde of Makarere University presented her work on the use of ICTs by female and male educators and learners in Uganda, noting that while institutional policies largely supported equity of access to computers, current ‘use’ data showed that for both educators and learners, males have an advantage. Her results were echoed in the pan-African study by Prof Thierry Karsenti of the Université de Montréal, which looked at ICT integration in teacher training. With FIFA World Cup fever hitting South Africa and the rest of the world, eLearning Africa 2010 combined its two most popular topics: football and eLearning. Adam Salkeld from Tinopolis Interactive, UK, explained how football can break down cultural barriers, showing a film on the Zanzibar Beach Boys – a group of teenagers who “eLearn” English because of their passion for British football teams. The work of the Zambian EduSport Foundation was presented by Patrick SECTOR ANALYSIS Mweshi. Frederico Carvalho from Intel Corporation, South Africa, showcased Skoool™ Football, an initiative which encompasses a range of exciting and The sectoral composition of par- engaging activities geared towards improving maths and science skills. ticipants comprised stakeholders from all key areas connected with The conference featured several sessions on the use of open source software eLearning in Africa. and how quality research can be encouraged within African universities. 6 Experts from the Kenyan Moi University, the National Open University of Sector Representation Nigeria, the Open University of Tanzania as well as from African Journals OnLine (AJOL), South Africa, discussed the use of open tools and content Business Education 26% and how these can be successfully adapted to suit a sustainable learning 42% environment in Africa. Sheila Jagannathan from The World Bank Institute, USA, chaired the session on practical experiences with open source solutions. It became clear that although a great deal of support exists for open source software and tools in Africa, online access can be difficult. Associations NGOs Government In addition to open source, the topic of proprietary content also attracted a Intl Orgs 8% lot of attention. The Global Teenager Project from Lebanon, chaired by Eliane 24% Metni, focused on the value of student-generated digital learning materials, adding an extra dimension to the content theme. COMMENTS “eLearning Africa enabled us to realise the great opportunities that arise when technology is used to sort out the unique problems that Africa has in an innovative manner.” Peter Kisare Otieno, AMREF - African Medical and Research Foundation, Kenya “Every year the eLearning Africa conference gets better and better. It is a pleasure to attend and a great learning experience.” Theresa Maria Stanton, International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD), The Netherlands “Please allow me to express my utmost appreciation for enabling me to attend eLA 2010. The experience will always be memorable.” Vincent Kizza, Ministry of Education, Uganda “Full marks to the ICWE team for another successful eLearning Africa.” Gerard Cunningham, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Kenya “Bishop Johnson Tilewa of Gambia made a salient point which I have argued with lecturers over the years, he is my star of the show.” Ugochukwu Samson Nwosu, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria, Nigeria
  • 8. 2010 CONFERENCE TOPICS IN BRIEF Dr Stijn van der Krogt from IICD hosted a panel discussion on local versus externally generated content. Panellists Bart Cornille from VVOB, Zambia, Dr Alexander Edwards, University of Education Ghana, Keiko Chiemy Ignacio Campero from AMC EDUCATIC Bolivia, Jürgen Riester from APCOB, Bolivia, and Victor Mensah, OER Foundation Zambia, joined by over eighty participants, took part in a great and challenging debate. While recognising that local content development is a priority for Africa, some participants remarked that due to the lack of infrastructure and teachers’ skills there is still only a little African content available. The panellists argued that given the current eLearning facilities, any dedicated teacher could publish his or her own content, and also take advantage of the rich cultural heritage of the continent. A range of Special Focus Sessions further enriched the conference, with Pixel Corps showing how eSkills can quickly make a worldwide online market available to trained individuals. The session on African Digital Diaries presented portraits of new informal ad hoc eLearning on the continent, with speakers ranging from the Bishop of Gambia to straightforward practitioners from Zambia and Zimbabwe. National stakeholders from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and the USA shared their experiences about USAID activities in the region. Gerard Cunningham from UNEP presented a Special Focus Session on the application of ICT in addressing the major environmental challenges facing the planet. Insaka Sessions A variety of specially designed, highly interactive Insaka sessions provided useful networking opportunities for people sharing specific interests. The term 7 “Insaka” is a Bemba word meaning “place to gather”. The sessions addressed topics such as mobile learning, content generation and Green IT. COMMENTS “An enjoyable, interesting and Demonstrations and Best Practice Showcases useful event that enables interaction As part of eLearning Africa 2010, the Demonstration and Best Practice Showcase with Africa for enhanced capacity Area displayed a variety of tools and services developed for African learners as building.” well as course samples and learning materials for the African market.
