We look forward to winning the final trouphy which I believe will take our Cyber Crime Project and ICT projects to a new level.

Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a University with 200,000 students.

I attended a two hour Webinar this afternoon - one of 90 attendees from across the world. Really quite amazing to think that so many people from different countries and timezones were communicating and learning all at the same time. An open source programme "Ellumuniate" was used to facilitate the Webinar. We were able to ask questions via voice or text, chat with each other, raise our hands, clap, take notes and at the end either print or save the whole presentation.

The topic was MOODLE, also an open source eLearning or to use the technical name "Course Management System".

With the generous support of the Hurford Foundation, Kabissa is carrying out a pilot project this year to explore ways to extend the benefits of our Time To Get Online training program with more Kabissa members through E-Learning. E-learning, courses conducted mainly over the Internet and/or on a computer, can give a tremendous boost to African organizations seeking to make more effective use of ICT.

The two e-learning courses we developed and are piloting, in response to a poll of our members, are:

• Running an Online Course
• Emerging technologies

The first course was run via two Google Groups itself and has been completed successfully by two sets of participants, one in East Africa and the other in Nigeria. The second will be provided as a self-paced online course via our new online community site.

A full report on the outcomes of the pilot project will be published in January. In the meantime, the executive summary of our proposal to the Hurford Foundation is published below.

The conference is a Pan-African educational event that nurtures cross-border understanding and learning on the continent. The success of this event in the last two years lies in its unique way of encouraging practitioners to interact across social, economic and geographical boundaries to find ICT solutions to educational problems faced in Africa.
