The Innovation Hub and Active Touch are hosting an all day e-learning conference at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria on 27October.
The event is to address issues and concerns raised by those responsible for e-learning initiatives in organisations.
"We will be looking into existing projects that are running in rural schools, among other things, and focus on their successes so that other decision-makers can learn from them," says Active Touch director Johann Fouche.
For example, a case study will be presented on a rural school with an effective and efficient e-learning programme that is costing it R100 per month. The entire programme is being run on wireless technology, says Fouche.
Topics to be discussed include open source, wireless, e-learning for corporate sales training and how to make e-learning fun for scholars. Industry experts are also to share their perspectives on important future directions in e-learning, he says.
"The hottest trend at the moment in e-learning is Web-based learning," says Fouche. "However, some schools are faced with the problem of bandwidth, which can restrict Web-based e-learning."
The conference is aimed at the corporate sector as well as the educational and governmental sectors.
