eLearning Africa 2014: A Turning Point for African Economies (Kampala, Uganda May 28-30 2014)

Building a prosperous future at eLearning Africa 2014

More than ever before, Africans are turning to ICT-supported learning to grow their economies. In 2013, the eLearning Africa Report found that 40% of African technology-assisted learning professionals were using ICTs specifically for skills training, up from 18% the previous year.

The benefit of ICT-supported learning is that it allows employers to provide vocational training to a great number of workers for little cost. This year's eLearning Africa, 28th - 30th May in Kampala, Uganda, will explore how technology is revolutionising learning and training across the continent, under the theme "Opening Frontiers to the Future".

"Many African countries are seeking to diversify their economies and stimulate sectors such as tourism and finance, but skills shortages are preventing them from doing so", says Rebecca Stromeyer, founder of eLearning Africa. "eLearning will allow more and more African countries to easily train the next generation of in-demand workers".
