History of AVU eLearning Day In December 2007, the AVU and the organizers of e-Learning Africa signed a Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation, to collaboratively build awareness and capacities across the continent, foster strong continental and inter-continental networks, support the emerging e-Learning Communities of Practice (CoP), and stimulate research and development cooperation. In order to fulfill its obligation of the MoU, the AVU participated in e-Learning Africa to showcase current activities through presentations and in doing so create further links for partnerships. The first AVU eLearning Day was launched in May 2009 in Dakar, Senegal in conjunction with the e-Learning Africa 2009 conference, which was the 4th International Conference on ICT for Education and Training. Its main objective was to support and reinforce the growing pan-African e-Learning community by providing an opportunity for African professionals and stakeholders to benchmark, learn, share and network, thus strengthening the continent's many and varied educational technology initiatives and projects. |
