e-Learning Mastercard Foundation

The e-Learning Initiative of the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program helps a network of African universities to develop capabilities to deliver high-quality and inclusive online instruction.

Launched in 2021 to address learning disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic, it focuses on building long-term institutional resilience. EdPlus partners with ASU’s Office of Global Academic Initiatives, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, and University Design Institute, plus USIU-Africa and the Mastercard Foundation’s Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning to provide training, technical consultations, content curation, and network facilitation to ten partner institutions. In 2023, the e-Learning Initiative will expand to additional Scholars Program network institutions.
