Africa University develops e-learning plans

Africa University is on an e-learning threshold to become the pan-African institution it was created to be, school officials told United Methodist bishops.

Throughout the United Methodist Council of Bishops Nov. 1-6 meeting, information technologists from Africa University provided a glimpse of how distance education would work to reach and provide learning opportunities to areas of the continent.

The bishops saw how the university will use electronic learning methods as well as establish a virtual university on campus. E-learning will enable the university to reach out to several African countries in its initial phases, including Mozambique, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia, according to Nodumo Dhlamini, the universitys director of communication technology.
