The 8th eLearning Africa conference will be held from May 29th to 31st at the Safari Conference Centre, Windhoek, Namibia.
Whilst Tradition, Change and Innovation are the overall themes for eLearning Africa 2013, the dominant focus of our conversations this year is on local innovation in education, on tablets, mobiles and MOOCs, on healthcare delivery and on livelihoods and agriculture, especially for rural communities. Additionally, the elearning Africa debate on sustainability promises to be a lively discussion.
This year, the eLearning Africa Call for Proposals received a record number of submissions from 58 countries across the world, leading to a comprehensive conference programme, which can be found here.
All profits from the sale of eLearning Africa T-shirts will go to the eLearning Africa Scholarship Trust (EAST). To find out more about the Trust, click here.

“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.”
