Abstract

The main objectives of the Workshop were to present and explore issues around eLearning and online educational applications relevant to Universities in Africa. The initial two days were spent in plenary sessions bringing together policy-makers and practitioners to discuss examples of technologies, policies, capacity development, online resources, and steps in the process of creating eLearning content. The participants created a draft Institutional Policy templete for eLearning and a Statement of Intent to implement good eLearning practices in their institutions and countries. After the initial two days in plenary sessions, the participants were organized into two groups: institutional decisionmakers/policy-makers (Track 1) and eLearning practitioners (Track 2). The Track 1 group participated further in a two-day workshop focusing on decision-making support tools, institutional implications, and a group action plan. The Track 2 group met for another 8 days in the form of a lab on eLearning focusing on open source learning management systems (LMS) and tools to nurture online learning. An eLearning Community of Practice for Africa (online discussion board) was also set up for participants
