eLearning Africa is holding its fifth pan-African gathering to bring together experts and stakeholders engaged or interested in information and communication technology-based education, training, and development on the African continent. The conference seeks to encourage rigorous debate, discussion, networking, and knowledge-sharing among practitioners and policymakers from all over the world.
