A statement on eLearning Africa website reads, "eLearning Africa 2011 will focus on youth but it will also highlight the importance of skills, skill development and employability."
It comes as no surprise considering the human population demographics in Africa - over 40 per cent of Africa’s population is younger than 24 years old (the so-called 'digital natives'). Although I am a 'digital immigrant', I do speak the language of the 'digital natives' and I will be in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania come 25th May 2011. More so because I am a learning process facilitator who is passionate in making a contribution in skills development of the young (using, as much as possible, the language they understand - digital). In such meetings such as eLearning Africa 2011, I will enhance my knowledge and capacity to speak the digital language besides sharing my experiences. Please be encouraged to be part of it. For further detailed information, abstract submission and registration please visit the eLearning Africa website (http://www.elearning-africa.com/).
eLearning Africa meetings are not new to me: I participated in 2007 (Nairobi, Kenya) and 2008 (Accra, Ghana) but sadly missed the 2009 and 2010 meetings. I will be in Dar es Salaam in May 2011.
I attribute the birth of this blog, to a great extent, to the eLearning Africa 2007 meeting.
