Learning in Context In Africa, context is all-important. No-one can afford to ignore it. It is a vital factor in decisions affecting investment, job-creation and development. In education and training, an understanding of context is essential. As new communication technologies extend the reach of opportunity, it is crucial for educators, policy makers, partners and investors to take account of the local context and conditions. So what are the main contextual and cultural considerations affecting the development of new opportunities through technology supported learning? How can we localise content to maximise opportunity? How should we apply or adapt technology to meet local conditions and needs? Above all, in an Africa that is changing rapidly, how can we maintain and safeguard our connection to tradition and context?
