MOOCs, Hype, and the Precarious State of Higher Ed: Futurist Bryan Alexander


Does it continue to make sense to go to college when the sticker price of a college education is soaring, the amount of debt college students are taking on – even for the non-elite universities and what were formerly affordable public universities – is severely constraining their choices post-graduation, and job prospects for new graduates are dismal?

Standard Digital News - Kenya : Education, ICT Experts warn State over free laptops



The Government could be headed for tougher times as it plans to implement the laptop-for-class-one project starting January next year.
Various education and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) experts have proposed the Ministry of Education should consider equipping schools with computer laboratories to cut costs.
They say a well-equipped computer room would serve the entire school population and not just Standard One pupils as each class would have computer lessons.
Others also suggested that cheaper computers could be developed or procured and that the machines would be operated from one centralised computer.

Should Africa beware tech companies bearing gifts?


When Erin Hayba began a project to bring computers to solar-powered schools in the world's biggest refugee camp, there were plenty of sceptics.
Two years later, there are 215 computers spread among 32 primary, seven secondary and four vocational schools in the Dadaab complex in north-east Kenya, home to more than 400,000 people, mostly from nearby Somalia. Each school has a solar panel.
But the intentions of the world's leading tech companies came under scrutiny during last week's eighth conference on ICT for development, education and training, attended by 1,500 participants. Efforts to close the gap between California's Silicon Valley and the specific needs of millions of African children were not always successful.

eLearning Africa calls Round Table of Ministers



International Conference on ICT for Development, Education and Training. An Annual Event for Building eLearning Capacities in Africa.
A round table of ministers and representatives from all across Africa is due to convene at eLearning Africa. The sixth of its kind to date, this yearly meeting offers a chance for governments to draw on the knowledge they have built up collectively over 20 years.
African educators, still challenged with the mammoth task of providing basic education, will take the opportunity to share progress reports and policies. In today’s volatile world, where new technologies have dramatic implications for policy development, such pan-African communication is vital in ensuring geographically distant countries facing similar problems can compare experiences.
Policy and Innovation in Education in Africa is this year’s theme. At a time when governments are getting involved more than ever in the growth of ICTs – with Kenya’s National Master Plan, Namibia’s Vision 2030, and the rise of African hubs – it is all the more vital for ministers to be able to learn from each other.
