  • Researchers surveyed 1,444 ICT experts across 55 African countries
  • They found laptops, smartphones, tablets and mobile phones as key to e-learning
  • Experts call for increased Internet connectivity in Africa to aid e-learning

These are findings from the e-Learning Africa report, recently released at a conference in Kenya (the link downloads a summary; under the terms of the CC license, I've uploaded a copy (136 page PDF) as an enclosure to this post - if you want to download from them you have to fill out a form giving them your personal information).
