Establishment of a multi-stakeholder e-Learning Centre in Namibia
(University of Namibia, 2007) Beukes-Amiss, Catherine M.
This presentation looks at Namibia, a large country with a small widely dispersed population with several regions in need of e-services for all, but with a strong vision to avoid duplication of efforts. Furthermore, it looks at the very diverse educational institutions and primary-secondary, tertiary and private-vocational training institutions and governmental divisions. All at different levels of e-activities and services. The presentation argues the great need to bring multiple stakeholders together and use one common Learning Management System (LMS).
