Many an educator will argue that the
traditional classroom environment can
never be replaced, where learners can
interact live with a teacher, and feed off
each other in terms of the collective
knowledge that is exchanged within
such an environment. So too one can
counter argue that within a digital envi-
ronment, be it in the form of an online
discussion or social education platform,
the same applies, and not only does it
remain on record for as long as the serv-
ice remains active on the particular plat-
form, it is accessible from anywhere and
anytime and not time bound.
It is a fine line of mixing and matching
the needs of learners across Africa by
taking the best of traditional teaching
methods and adapting and moulding
them into a cohesive, successful formula
that will project and let Africa play on an
even field with other global players,
thereby remembering the words of that
great man:
“Education is the most powerful
weapon, which you can use to change
the world.” – Nelson Mandela
