Observing Africa’s ICT landscape

There is no doubt that ICT usage is growing on the African continent. However, how is it being used? Is it being used efficiently? These are just some of the questions that the Panafrican Research Agenda on the Pedagogical Integration of Information and Communications Technologies seeks to address. The project’s objective centres around gaining a better understanding of how the pedagogical integration of ICT can improve the quality of teaching and learning in Africa.

An open knowledge-sharing resource, simple or more detailed searches can be conducted in English or in French in order to examine the findings from single countries or to observe comparisons across several. The data collected is based on 160 indicators monitored in universities drawn from eleven countries from all four corners of the Continent. The project is carried out in collaboration with the Université de Montréal and several national committees and is overseen by an International Scientific Committee.
