African Universities have made available ICT resources to student and lecturers for use in instruction. However, students and lecturers are less aware of online resources such as Web 2.0 technologies for teaching and learning. What can you recommend should be done to promote the use of Web 2.0 technologies in teaching and learning?

In African, universities are migrating from dial-up and leased line types of internet connectivity, which have been inadequate in provision of e-resources to interconnections in optical super highway. This has resulted to more bandwidth and more advanced means of communication. Most of these universities are using moodle open source software for e-learning. With increased bandwidth, what can be incorporated in moodle to make the e- learning class exciting?

Captivating students online

I would love to hear students say that they are enjoying an online class from the beginning to the end of the semester. What do I need to do to captivate them online?

I have been teaching e-learning classes in Kenya. More than 50 % of the class has been faithfully attending the classes for the last half of the semester. Towards the end, the attendance has slowed down for synchronous interactions but quite fine for asynchronous interactions. what can one do to captivate students online?

How else do you think we can be interactive to make you learn better?

Rate the benefits to the challenges of the E-learning program to the traditional methods of teaching. (As a %).

Are the benefits of e-learning tangible in comparison to the traditional method?

You have been in an online class for almost a semester.

• What challenges do you face on the E-learning program? 

Thanks.
