• In Event: eLearning Africa + e/merge Africa- African Perspectives on Learning & Innovation (h)

Short Description

Cross-cultural research needs researchers to take time on building a collaborative community. This presentation will unveil the process and preliminary results of a multi-phase study conducted by one of the International Research Collaborative of Established and Emergent Scholars (IRCEES) groups. The purpose of the study is to better understand educational technology usage in African higher education contexts. Having overcome cultural, technological, and research logistics barriers, a multiple-language survey and a series of interviews have proven invaluable.
