\"ExtAfr<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Using digital fluency as a strategy to extend the capacity of educators for teaching in an ODL mode<\/b><\/i>\n<\/p>\n

The EXTEND capacity building model for professional learning is grounded in the belief that learning to teach effectively with technology requires an experiential learning approach. The EXTEND course modules provide an immersive experience for participants, with hands-on practice that will empower them to design learning experiences and resources to better suit the needs of their students. We believe that digital fluency and the ability to make informed choices about the use of technology-enabled learning tools and practices is a process not a product, and consequently requires an immersive experience for 21st century educators.\n<\/p>\n

About this site<\/span><\/h2>\n

This website was published by the Commonwealth of Learning<\/a> to facilitate a feasibility study to be conducted by Kenyata University<\/a> to review the EXTEND professional development modules. The original materials were developed and successfully implemented by eCampusOntario<\/a> in Canada. Published as open educational resources (OER) they can be adapted for the African context. The OERu<\/a> is providing hosting services for the project review site, based on a derivative of the New Zealand customization<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

This draft website will be used as the starting point for identifying localisation needs to publish a customised EXTEND Africa<\/i> professional development programme.\n<\/p>\n
