THE 8th eLearning Africa conference (eLearning Africa 2013) will this
year be hosted by Namibia's Ministry of Education in conjunction with
the Ministry of information communication technology (ICT) from May
29-31.The conference will be held in Windhoek, Namibia. In 2011, it was
hosted by Tanzania. This year's international event will focus on
tradition, change and innovation to show how new technologies combined
with a pioneering spirit to improve lives are already changing the way
people learn, work, and play.Tanzania Global Learning Agency (Ta- GLA) is one of the organizers of
the conference and as it did in previous years, it will link Tanzanians
to important sessions of the conference through technologies. The
following are some of the key questions to guide discussions at
eLearning Africa 2013: How are African youth shaping their identities
and navigating different learning spaces with these technologies? Are
new technologies fundamentally disruptive to tradition or do they open
up space for the digitisation of tradition?
How is innovation in Africa shaping the continent's learning
landscape? Over 1,500 decision-makers and practitioners from the
education, business and government sectors, with 80 per cent coming from
Africa are expected to attend the international conference. A similar
event was last year held in Cotonou, Benin, from May 23-25. It provided
an opportunity for Tanzanians and other participants to explore and get
exposure to best available educational technologies and practices in the
world and a platform to profile the country worldwide.
