Introduction The Post e-learning Africa conference Seminar was a unique experiment designed to Take Action to promote the greater use of ICT in Education in Uganda. The seminar’s theme was “Taking Action to implement ICT in quality Service Delivery and as a Bridge to Unite Generations.”

The seminar was held on a cost-sharing model between KAWA (www.kawauganda.org, Ministry of Education and sports (www.education.go.ug), Learn with Grandma International (www.learnwithgrandmaint.org), Trinity College Nabbingo (www.tricona.moes.ug), and the participating schools. Each delegate contributed 100,000/= (one hundred thousand shillings) to cover the seminar costs.

The small surplus helped fund the establishment of a national network – e-learning Uganda and the Digital Inclusion Centres in Mubende and Kibaale, housed in the now redundant Teachers Resource Centres. We believe this to be the first National network for e-learning in Africa.

In organising the Seminar, KAWA was responsible for organization, provision of books, CDs, training materials, certificates and payment of facilitators. Ministry of Education and Sports was responsible for policy and overall monitoring and evaluation.

The

head teacher welcomed delegates to Trinity College Nabbingo. She said that as hosts and organizers they had been looking forward – with some trepidation - to the day. It was a very unusual, if not unique, Seminar – a call to Take Action to promote ICT in education and it was with great pleasure that – as chair of the Head Teachers Association - she was able to welcome so many Head Teachers “Technology was created from all over the country. for us to use and modern

Finally she assured participants that Technology can transform our schools. Research shows that students learning through visuals retain much more content than those who do not.

Furthermore, technology may be the only tool that gives time for slower learners to catch up.

With such knowledge, we must therefore persuade all administrators and teachers to embrace technology in classrooms.

Presentation 1: Overview of the 9th eLearning Africa Conference.

Sylvester Rwaka Adyeri - Told delegates that - as Ugandans we were happy to have hosted such a prestigious ICT Conference which takes place every year in different African countries. He explained that www.elearning-africa.com is the largest gathering of eLearning and ICT supported educational and training professionals in Africa. This conference enables participants to develop multinational and cross-industry contacts and partnerships, as well as enhancing their knowledge, expertise and abilities.

He told them about that the conference programme included plenary sessions with world-class experts, smaller presentations and special focus sessions; practical demonstrations and debates on specific topics, as well as various informal networking opportunities in which practitioners share their experiences, ideas, new information and perspectives.

A number of special events take place alongside the conference - product launches; special interest groups get-together; there are sponsored workshops; best practice showcases and meetings.

The conference showcased the success stories, experiences, research, thinking and expertise that make up the complex but thrilling picture of ICT for development, education and training in Africa today, under the overall theme of Opening Frontiers to the Future.

Lessons from the Munyonyo Conference towards School leaders in ICT integration Sylvester took time to explain that: 1. School leadership plays an increasing role in leading change, providing vision and objectives, as well as professional development initiatives in using ICT to bring about pedagogical changes.

2. For ICT integration programs to be effective and sustainable, administrators themselves must be competent in the use of the technology, 3. ICT has impacted education positively. It has brought great improvements in the quality and quantity of teaching and learning. ICT not only improves the quality of teaching and learning but also promotes access and equity in education.

4. Success stories from the conference show that ICT can make education more efficient and productive. Engendering a variety of tools to enhance and facilitate teachers’ professional activities

e learning culture that keeps 5. Leadership is essential in generating vision and creating an e-learning pace with the significant changes and expansions of ICT throughout the world.

6. This is supported by the fact that leaders influence, make decisions, provide support and model behavior for the teachers.

7. Leaders in the Seminar were expected not only to be role models in their knowledge of ICT skills but also be able to spearhead the processes of identifying the changes that are needed in their institution.

Presentation 2: Technology as a means of promoting teacher Professional Development

by Mr.Ayub Kalema,

Kalema talked about ICT as a subject in schools, stressing the great need for teachers to learn ICT skills and thanked the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education and Sports, Dr. Rose Nassali Lukwago for supporting retooling of teachers which took place in May at Kololo SS in Kampala. He said that administrators who have

undergone retooling seminars support ICT in their schools.

“I can make a mistake copying a map from a text book to the chalk board – which could lead to my students adding yet another mistake in copying to their books. I project a professionally produced map and my students copy a correct map directly to their books.”

He urged admin administrators to enable teachers acquire the necessary technical skills and understand the syllabus in order to pass on the right skills to students.

He said that most teachers teach without following the

syllabus yet syllabi are available at National Curriculum Development Centre, for each subject and are for free. They can be downloaded from www.ncdc.go.ug Mr. Kalema urged administrators to improve on their libraries by buying more ICT text books to enable teachers to improve teaching their subjects. He said this raising an issue that most teachers today use O’ Level text books to teach A’ Level students.

These text books cannot help A’ Level students because they are designed for O’ Level subjects and students. He advised them to take advantage of the e-books provided by KAWA. He said that the ministry of Education and Sports has made great efforts to provide ICT equipment to schools and that in order to make full use of this equipment teacher now require training in the use of ICT to enable them to teach students.

Uganda Communications Commission (www.ucc.go.ug) together with the Ministry of Education and Sports provided schools with computers , it is now up to the administrators to maintain and take good care of them.

For Computer maintenance training and support, Eng. Allen Nansubuga of Tech Services for Education 0772302373 anansubuga@yahoo.com should be contacted He talked about school timetables, saying that time wasted in changing time tables - especially in the run up to exams – and this resulted in lessening the teaching time available. Many teachers in too many schools do not

This breeds

He emphasized that ICT can be used to teach all subjects – not just computer studies – which is a subject in itself. He gave an example of himself as a Geography teacher on how he uses ICT to teach geography. To quote:- I can make a mistake copying a map from a text book to the chalk board – which could lead to my students adding yet another mistake in copying to their books. I project a professionally produced map and my students copy a correct map directly to their books.”

But ICT and other subjects conflict.

Teachers are unable to access the ICT laboratory when the ICT teacher also needs it. He said that e-books, elibraries can also be used and most can be accessed on some telephones.

He urged teachers to let students use computers to acquire the necessary skills. For example students should regularly and from the start be taught how to write on CDs, burn data on them so that when it comes to exams, they know what to do and they feel comfortable with what they do.

He asked administrators to always consider requisitions brought in for improving ICT as this will enable teachers to teach and learners to learn effectively.

Presentation 4: Information Technologies for sustainable development in Uganda and laying foundations to open frontiers to the future of Uganda.

By Chief Gaston Donnat Bappa ICT specialist and Chief of the village of Ndjock-Nkong in Cameroon.

Introduction Fresh from the 9th e-learning Africa Conference, Chief Gaston revealed to head teachers that ICTs are the cutting edge of world technology. But their use in rural areas of Africa, where illiteracy and isolation run high are limited. He mentioned that this is the era of ICTs, consisting of the hard and software of the global telecommunications infrastructure, of computing and media.

His presentation focused encouraging rural projects, including schools, to integrate and implement ICTs, across Africa. It is only by enabling people in

rural areas to learn from the new technologies that rural people can be brought into the modern world.

Rural Areas Rural areas of Africa are, for the most part, isolated, with few if any navigable roads and the lack of a stable source of energy.

Without suitable roads, movement is impossible – movement necessary to carry out maintenance on ICT equipment of all types and other actions necessary to the ICT infrastructure. At the same time, all this equipment needs energy to work. Any Post eLearning Africa Action Seminar Report

defect with the energy supply causes an untimely interruption in service with negative consequences on the expected results of any project.

The Millennium Development Goals He reminded participants that in September 2000, 189 heads of states adopted the Millennium Development Goals which the world had to accomplish by 2015, one year from now.

In 2003 and 2005, the nations of the world convened again, in Geneva and Tunis respectively, to study and propose

global directions for information and knowledge management, under the aegis of the World Summit on the Information Society. This summit established ICTs as one of the principal means of realizing the MDGs, which have been the target since then. On the eve of the final evaluation of the level of attainment of the MDGs, due in September 2015, Africa is the continent with greatest development shortfall.

He talked about how ICTs can help integrate the millennium development goals; Every child should go to school at

“In trying to help rural dwellers/students access ICTs, faster development is necessary and alternative energy sources – like solar power – is a good and economical solution” Chief Gaston Bappa

He said that ICTs can help in putting right the above problems encountered by most Africans.

He added that most of the mentioned problems affected mostly people in the rural areas yet it is the people in these rural areas that aid urban areas or the countries to grow. If enough is not is not done for rural areas, there will not be development. Rural areas provide produce for urban areas but poor infrastructure - such as roads, schools, hospitals, electricity – greatly restricts the ability of the rural area to provide enough food etc for the urban areas. This is to the detriment of urban areas because it leads to higher prices in the urban areas. Even when modern technology is available in rural areas - without the necessary infrastructure it cannot be maintained properly. In trying to help rural dwellers/students access ICTs, faster development is necessary and alternative energy sources – like solar power – is a good and economical solution. Greater use of ICT will help rural areas develop and are an indispensable way of life.

For example - Most institutions like

Banks use ICT technology.

Internet banking – mobile money has proved of great benefit to rural dwellers.

Chief Gaston reminded delegates that Africa is the most populous continent in the world. There are more than 2000 languages; many cultures and that Africa is the cradle of humanity.

He urged Africans to embrace ICTs and use it to protect and record culture; traditions and spread this knowledge throughout the world. He has now embarked on a new project – to establish an on-line encyclopaedia on African culture.

The project was launched at www.elearning-africa.com Conference and will grow organically as more and more African Knowledge is gradually added. More information available on this link - Mail and Guardian in South Africa - http://mg.co.za/article/2014-06-05-africato-get-its-own-Wikipedia

Chief Gaston also emphasized that Africans have not used the internet and other ICTs to the maximum and he gave statistics on Internet use in African countries. They are as below;

The report is available on line – Free of charge - from - www.elearningafrica.com/report2014

Conclusion Countries that have succeeded in harnessing the potential of ICT have been taken a positive step towards greatly expanded economic growth; improved human welfare and stronger forms of democratic governance.

Now we must act swiftly to make sure Africa and the world can attain the Goals and create an ambitious and inspired dynamic for post-2015 development. The more rational, adapted and appropriate integration and usage of ICTs at the local level is one of the fundamental factors for constructing a more just, secure and sustainable future for all.

Presentation 6: KAWA’s Intervention Intervention in Education

By Mr. Moses Wamanga.

Moses began by giving a brief introduction to KAWA – an acronym for Kisubi Associated Writers Agency and so called because this educational forum had been founded and administered by secondary school teachers and university iversity lecturers. It is registered in Uganda as a Community Based Organization with focuses on digital content creation; in-service in teacher training through e-learning learning and online school links.

He told participants that KAWA became prominent after 2011 when hen he met Mrs. Valerie Wood-Gaiger Gaiger MBE at the ee learning Africa Conference which was held that year in Dar es Salaam Tanzania -where where they were conference presenters on the same panel. She had encouraged and became a sort of mentor advising him in his ambition tion to promote and spread the benefits of using ICT in education for all generations.

Moses said that, as a Ugandan teacher, he fully understood and had observed the many challenges teachers faced in the classroom. Together with other teachers they had decided d to form Post eLearning Africa Action Seminar Report

KAWA Supporting eLearning

• Equip individual teachers with the right tools and skills to enable them perform effectively.

To Quote our Patron - A teacher who uses the internet - uses all the modern technology tools - broadens and deepens education and does more. He also teaches for the age we live in.

• Build and empower a strong team of individuals who will be able to transfer the knowledge and skills to other people • Train people to the point of actualized courseware development

ICT is learnt by practice. Just like learning to drive a car – it is by practicing that one becomes a better driver!

Moses explained that the e-learning perform - used by KAWA trainers; is one of continuous development.

He urged people to open email addresses and to use them regularly to save time; money and effort and to automatically create a copy of their correspondence. He added that most administrators are now contactable via their email addresses and remarked that the difficulty in reaching those who do not use email was leading to their being left off certain important communications. The costs of this seminar could have been reduced if all Head Teachers email addresses had been known beforehand.

The New eLearning Management Environment being used for in-service training through elearning

The CPD programme for educators was launched by the Hon. Jessica Alupo, Minister of Education and Sports in December 2012 at Makerere University Business School.

Charles Olupot, Director Makerere University Business School showing how ICT will solve the problem of regional imbalance in education

Presentation 5: The National Virtual teacher Project

By Charles Charles Olupot, MUBS ICT Centre.

Overall Goal: To reduce inequality in teaching and learning among Ugandan Schools MUBS ICT Centre deals in training and research and gave a background on the problems the education sector is facing; There is currently an acute shortage of Science teachers in Uganda.

A total of 13,000 sciences teachers are needed 102 schools do not have a single mathematics teacher.

105 Schools do not have any physics teacher (Monitor, February 2, 2013).

A virtual teacher can help solve this big problem. He showed how the few available science teachers will be able to teach – using ICT - the many students in those schools that lack teachers in these special subjects. Students will be able to download learning materials and attend virtual lectures and able to directly ask questions to teachers who are many miles away.

Where we are: MoES: National mandate to provide for, support, guide, coordinate, regulate and promote quality education throughout Uganda KAWA: Course material development, Training fellow teachers to adapt and or adopt new teaching and learning opportunities that ICT presents.

MUBS: Training, certification, course material development and quality assurance.

NITA-U: Standards Sample Schools (Trinity College Nabbingo, Luzira SS, Arua Public, Mubende High School, Wiggins SS, Kyamakanda SS, PMM Girls and Grace High School.

He also talked about Google apps- one of the tools that Google has created and which can provide many teaching applications which can be accessed via New browsers - google chrome; which can also run offline etc.

P a g e ICT | 23 Introducing Learn Learn with GrandmaGrandma-Intergenerational learning through

By Valerie WoodWood-Gaiger MBE As Jjajja Val had initiated the idea of this unique post eLearning Africa Conference – Taking Action Seminar she wanted to thank everyone for coming and helping to make it such a success – That morning she had been convinced that no one would come!

She told us she was so impressed by the great efforts that so many people had made to get to Nabbingo. One teacher told her he had been traveling for 24 hours! The large hall at Trinity Trin College Nabbingo was full and teachers had proved that she was right! e-learning e Africa Conference had got people talking about e-learning – Now the time had come to Take Action and promote greater use of ICT in schools; in all educational establishments ts and indeed throughout Uganda as a nation.

Please read her prepared speech for the seminar (attached).

And also the presentation she gave at www.elearning-africa.com Entitled – Man cannot live by technology technolog alone – we also need bread! https://www.facebook.com/groups/344240262301355/

Jajja Val encouraged delegates join the facebook group LEARN WITH GRANDMA UGANDA and to post their intergenerational onal learning achievements on Facebook to encourage others to see the benefits of learning across the generations. Intergenerational Learning is also intergenerational bonding. Technology has divided the generations but it can also be a bridge to reunite and nd build stronger communities.

Jjajj Val told us how delighted she was that that she had officially reopened Teachers Resource Centres in Mubende and Kibaale.

She explained that these buildings which had been funded by the British Government in the late 1990’s and donated to the local communities as the funding for that project came to an end – were seriously underused. The main reason was that those pre-digital resources were not longer needed.

Working with KAWA and the local communities the hope now is to reopen these buildings throughout Uganda but renaming them Digital Inclusion Centres (DICs) – so that they can be used by the wider community for ICT learning and cultural activities. The plan was to work with UNESCO and to involve the local community ity as much as possible.

Charges must be made but a local committee would help formulate those charges so that they are as low as possible to encourage people to use the Centre but high enough to cover costs.

Cultural activities will also be encouraged – the hope is that these will help to make the Centres financially self-sustaining. Centres would be totally owned; run and managed by Ugandans – then no foreign power would be able so say – sorry the funding has come to an end!

up intergenerational learning clubs.

These will encourage young people to share their technological skills and older people to teach history; culture; skills.

Skills that could help young people earn a living.

Jjajja Val had come to the end of her presentation but Sylvester Rwaka Adyeri reminded her that she had forgotten about Psalm 78! He had heard her give this talk in his church in Mubende. Val – from memory gave a verse from Psalms 78 which tells us to -

Teach your children the mysteries your father taught you – She related this to ICT and learning across the generations. A truly ancient idea as relevant in this technical age as it was in Biblical times.

flexible form. Uganda Technology and management University (UTAMU) has extended elearning opportunities to all busy officers willing to learn more

Refresher courses help teachers to update themselves on ICT.

IT education spans a lot of areas and has led to several employment opportunities to those who study it at all levels. A lot of IT education is under the certification level followed by the diploma, degree, and postgraduate degree levels. It should be noted that the higher you go the better specialization one gets and the more knowledge acquired. It should be noted that IT education is the most common education sought for around the world including Africa.

• Books can be downloaded on the computer.

Almost each University within Africa offers some sort of IT education but what differs is the quality, content and usefulness of what is taught to the students. It should also be noted that many organizations that have developed IT solutions have also established training programs that can be taken at certification levels that are much respected across the world. These include CISCO, Microsoft, Adobe, HUAWEI, Oracle etc. Such training established by these organizations is popular and much sought after by professionals in the IT sector.

Once certified in any of them you can easily utilize the certificate across the entire world.

He urged teachers to make a step and take on refresher courses from different institutions that offer them such as MUBS, UTAMU, KAWA E-learner etc.

Teachers can also take on online courses.

How ICTs can help.

• Videos can be downloaded on the computer.

• Share content from other institutions using ICT. • Debates online.

• Can conduct lessons even while travelling(online).

ICT is not for the young. It’s for everybody. We cannot run away from technology because it is here to stay.

He offered to support schools through career guidance talks to students and parents by consulting him through his email and phone number which he gave out.

UTAMU is also ready to serve institutions by providing highly trained manpower in the areas of management, Computer and information systems ranging from Internees and qualified graduates who will provide a solutions to the schools.

4. That Delegates to the big e--learning Africa conference will bring reports from that conference to enhance elearning Uganda.

5. We need a steering committee – ICT committee of the Ministry, ASSHU and KAWA were suggested.

6. To create an e-learning learning Uganda website. (KAWA will develop this).

“ICT tools are proving indispensable in making school administration more efficient and responsive to community needs.

Policy makers and education institutions and programmes prog must provide the leadership for prepre and in-service teachers and model the new pedagogies and tools for learning.�

7. Each delegate should do all that is possible to ensure that all our teachers are

empowered with computer skills for teaching and development.

8. The schools should give support to ICT as a priority in terms of the budget/funds.

9. The Ministry was requested to provide computers to institutions which do not have.

10. Promote the spirit of sharing ICT and new development educational experience including reports after returning from educational tours to help those who have not the opportunity to travel.

11. The Ministry of Education and similar agencies should support schools in developing Websites, blogs and emails. This was considered a MUST to have for each school for easier sharing and communication with all the stakeholders.

12. The Career guidance digital content should be distributed to every school as soon as it is available 13. More Digital content for arts and A level books should be made available to schools.

14. The committee on ICT should develop a guide to help schools know what to do with the ICTs they have and be evaluated every year before the e-learning conferences.

People no longer use the Post Office. What was done by the post office can be done on air through emails, facebook, tweeter etc.

E-registration can be done.

Results can be got on mobile phones, so no need to go to the ministry of Education to collect results.

She added that teachers and head teachers cannot afford to remain in ignorance as the rest of Uganda’s administration move ahead in using ICT. She told delegates that she had been forced to learn to use a computer when she went to University in Britain. She had presented her – beautifully hand-written work only to be told that ‘ it was very nice dear but you are required to use a computer.

day was coming when ICT skills will be a required skill, by 2017, ICT will be a required generic tool in teaching all subjects but that the Ugandan government had recognised that many people do need help and the help is available - there is an adequate supply of trained ICT teachers.

Retooling of teachers is underway – take advantage of the opportunities available.

Universities, NTCs and PTCs are to include ICT as a teaching subject on their syllabus.

She highlighted the unavailability of power sources in schools that reduced the application of ICT in schools. So the ministry is supporting installation of solar panels in schools.

She told us that she had never had a lesson but that computers are user friendly - they guide you step by step and you learn by yourself.

She asked administrators to take advantage of the opportunity that has been presented by the Ministry because the Ministry is aligning its policies and programmes with the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC). More ebooks and other forms of local Digital content will be provided to schools with the support of her ministry.

She suggested that we learn what we need to use and practise that. Learn more as you need more - the rest will come along as you learn day by day.

Award of certificates and launch of Career Guidance Multimedia Handbooks.

She told people to play around with the computer but to beware of the delete key! If they did not want to lose all that they have done.

However, the PS also warned delegates that if they insisted on not learning these ICT skills, they will remain outdated and the

She awarded MUBS certificates to the 38 Trinity College Nabbingo members of the teaching and non teaching staff who had undergone the ICT training by KAWA and MUBS and then certificates of attendance were awarded to the participants and closed the seminar.
