Tradition, Change and Innovation are the overall themes for eLearning Africa 2013, but the main focus of the conversations that will take place is on local innovation in education, on tablets, mobiles and MOOCs; on healthcare delivery and on livelihoods and agriculture, especially for rural communities.

A team from the South African College of Business will be attending and we're expecting to publish the latest updates with all the happenings from the conference - so if this is your interest, you know where to come.
