E-LEARNING & TECHNOLOGY IN HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT 2020 16th - 18th SEPTEMBER 2020

E-Learning or Online Education is changing the way we approach teaching and learning. Changes in education delivery models have been rapid and transformational. As institutions worldwide adapt to these changes, a very dynamic education landscape has generated immense interest among researchers, educators, administrators, policymakers, publishers, and businesses. Online education in its various modes has been growing steadily worldwide due to the confluence of new technologies, global adoption of the Internet, and intensifying demand for a workforce trained periodically for the ever-evolving digital economy.

As information and communication technologies have kept advancing, online education has become more feasible technologically, economically,and operationally. Incentives for universities to offer online programs include financial constraints and rewards (e.g. reduced infrastructure for classrooms, offices, cafeterias, dorms, and libraries), increase in nontraditional students that are working full time, and the advanced state of technology making it easy to implement.

Instead of “correspondence” courses that started in England in the mid-nineteenth century and involved sending of hard copy documents that were subject to long ??me delays, e-learning facilitates asynchronous as well as synchronous education delivery methods along with access to online discussion boards, chat rooms, and video conferencing.

This 2 ? -day event divided into a half-day workshop and 2-days of presentations will look at the latest trends in E-Learning and the impact of technology in Higher Education across the continent. It will also look into emerging technologies for teaching and learning, curriculum and course design, and will use case studies and panel discussions to unpack modern learning tools and applications.

The workshop is designed primarily for learning professionals—trainers, instructional designers, and organisational development practitioners—but also greatly benefit anyone within an organisation who is responsible for developing others, from managers
