Learning Growth and Promise for the Developing World

I have even joined a Facebook group called ‘e-Learning in Developing and Developed Countries’. You should join too so we can collectively search for ways to promote, develop, and encourage others to see the value of connecting the world via e-learning!

The challenges facing e-learning in developing countries are ongoing and require everyone’s attention. Global learning and cultural exchange via e-learning can unite and contribute to co-existence and world peace. This Facebook group intends to bridge the ‘digital gap’ so that all learners can benefit from e-learning.

I’ve learnt that there are all these eLearning conferences happening around the world constantly. It’s crazy! For example, in a few weeks time, there is a massive eLearning conference in Accra for eLA (eLearning Africa) and delegates are from all around the world including decision makers and practitioners from education, business and government – the three key areas driving eLearning adoption and innovation.

This Facebook group also brought to my attention an article on ‘E-Learning Growth and Promise for the Developing World’ by Joanne Capper, World Links for Development, The World Bank. A growing number of organizations are now delivering training and education over the Internet. This article gives an overview of e-learning, its current status, its benefits, what the future holds, and what it promises for the developing world.
