Request for expression of interest to participate in capacity building for Online Content Development and Instruction

The Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), a network of 129 universities in 38 African countries, is implementing Regional E-learning Platform (REP) to facilitate online learning across the RUFORUM Network with support from Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA). This initiative builds on previous efforts by RUFORUM to promote e-learning and use of digital technologies for research, teaching and learning in Africa. The REP initiative seeks to harness the pivotal role of digital technologies in improving online teaching and learning in African Universities. It focuses on the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning as well as sharing of experiences as an approach for improving educational outcomes and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning in participating universities. It also aims at promoting sharing of resources across the network and to link the network to similar initiatives globally. By doing so, beneficiary universities are able to train through innovative and creative technology-enabled techniques that deliver and enhance the learning experience
