eLearning Africa 2013 saw 1480 participants from 65 countries gather in Windhoek for three days of learning, knowledge exchange and networking. The Continent’s largest gathering of eLearning and ICT-supported education and training professionals, eLearning Africa brought together over 300 speakers from across Africa and the world to explore the latest innovations and issues in the fields of technology and education. Thank you to all participants, speakers, sponsors, partners and exhibitors for making eLearning Africa 2013 such a great success. We look forward to welcoming you all in Uganda for eLearning Africa 2014!
What is the true state of eLearning in Africa? Sometimes it's hard to see past the enthusiasm with which the media portrays every new breakthrough and technological innovation, to work out what's really going on. What are actual facts and figures, the underlying truths? Most importantly, what do African practitioners at grassroots level think about it all?
You can find the answers to these questions in the eLearning Africa Report 2013, available for free from the 30th of May. Only the second issue yet produced of this exciting international publication from eLearning Africa, it offers even more inspiring insight, informative statistics and engaging interviews than 2012's inaugural edition.

“eLearning Africa has offered me great opportunities to network with many people and enabled me to rethink how I intend to integrate ICT in my teaching. I was able to rub shoulders with my Minister of Education at this conference which would otherwise be hard back at home. Being a speaker at such a forum also exposed me to many people and I was also able to acquire more presentation skills.”
