On 25th May 2011 we facilitated a multi-stakeholder workshop at eLearning Africa 2011 in Dar es Salaam entitled “Towards an Online eLearning Network Across African Universities”. The workshop was run in partnership with the South African Institute for Distance Education and the United Nations University and facilitated by Nancy White of Full Circle Associates. There were participants from from universities and NGOs across all regions of Africa and from Europe and the United States. While many of us wanted to immediately bring our most difficult problems to a network there was a huge interest in the formation of a network including over 20 offers of support including activities and access to networks and expertise.
