eLearning Africa marked its fifth anniversary with a celebration of new ideas and inspirations – as well as a record number of 1778 delegates from 78 countries. Staged in the Zambian capital of Lusaka, Africa’s largest conference on technology-enhanced education and training once more brought together senior governmental decision-makers, leading international organisations, universities and companies. With 86% of the participants coming from Africa, the gathering again proved to be a truly pan-African event.

“Relevant, inspiring, enlightening” – this is how delegates summarised the personal benefits of attending the conference. In fact, it was YOU - the learning professionals and “real-life experts” -who made eLearning Africa such a valuable experience. You provided some very personal insights into the everyday challenges – and came up with ideas on how to find workable solutions. The eLA team would like to say THANK YOU for your openness and support.

Mobile Learning, Content Development and Open Source Solutions proved to be some of the most popular topics this year, with practical examples ranging from the use of mobile phones to aid health workers in remote areas to student-generated digital learning materials. You will find a variety of session summaries and participants’ reports on the eLA News Portal.

eLearning Africa continues its journey across the continent in 2011, moving to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It will strengthen and further expand the pan-African network of practitioners in online education and training. The organising team are currently working on topics for the 2011 event. A call for papers will be issued in September.
