A new report shows that laptops and mobile phones are now far and away the most popular new learning devices in Africa – while, despite the hype, tablets are still lagging, only being used regularly by 20% of e-Learning practitioners.
This is just one of the findings in the e-Learning Africa Report 2013, which was launched last week at eLearning Africa at the Windhoek Safari Conference Centre in Namibia. In launching the report, the Namibian Minister for ICT, Joel Kaapanda, said the report offers new insight into the complex uses of technology in African education – from the point of view of Africans themselves.

Osun State recently gave out hundreds of tablets to its secondary school students, making it the first state to do such thing in the country.
“I was particularly encouraged by the failures in eLearning that were so openly shared, and the attention given this year to local digital content and the integration of indigenous African languages”, the Namibian minister said.
Providing a unique snapshot of ICT developments across the Continent, the eLearning Africa Report goes beyond statistics and gives a voice to hundreds of Africans involved in eLearning practice at grassroots level. Its aim is to reflect “the stories, views and experiences of African practitioners and their contribution to the broader African e-Learning narrative.”
These experiences offer surprising insights. Whilst, for example, 40% of respondents said they create local content, only 16% create it in indigenous African languages. And while social media and mobility are becoming more popular, accessing online resources and supporting classroom learning are the most common uses of technology.
“The Report confirms that mobility in learning and teaching is indeed on the rise in education and skills development in Africa but it has not yet eclipsed traditional ways of education delivery,” says Report editor Shafika Isaacs. “Addressing the challenges in education continues to be a critical priority as we deliberate the post-2015 development agenda.”

Within the last 10 years, the rate of failure in SSCE exams has been between 60%-70%, with many failing to obtain credit pass in Mathematics and English Language. This is not encouraging, especially for parents that have made huge investment and sacrifice to provide for their education. The reason for this massive failure is not farfetched. Students have abandoned the reading culture of ?burning the mid-night oil?. They are now seriously distracted by TV, and their smart phones. It is very difficult to get them read their physical books. They rather prefer to play with their phones.
So, having an application that enables them to read on their mobile devices is not only timely, but will also help to improve their performance in JSCE, SSCE & JAMB exams

HOW THE SECONDARY SCHOOL E-LEARNING APPLICATION WORKS
The secondary school E-learning application comes in a preloaded 8G memory card which is installed on mobile devices, computers, e-libraries. The student who installs it then registers as its user. To start using the application, he opens it to watch video lectures. For this, the student just sits down and observes a real classroom atmosphere teaching on his mobile device. This does not need the internet to operate, so it does not place any extra financial burden upon the student. As the teachings go on, the student has total control of his time and learning speed, a powerful tool which he has no control of in the classroom, for fear of looking dumb, by asking his teacher to repeat or slow down to enable him understand a new concept.

He can pause the lecture when he wants. If he is sent on an errand, he can stop the lecture and won?t miss anything. He can repeat a line of instruction if he so wishes. He can pick the subjects he finds most difficult in classroom and repeat the video tutorials as many times as he wants. The power of this approach is that the student no longer sees teaching and learning as one boring classroom exercise, but an exciting educational game which absolute control he has.
