Purpose – This paper seeks to assess the extent
to which the learning and web 2.0 technologies
are utilized to support learning and teaching in
Africa’s higher learning institutions, with a
specific focus on Tanzania's public universities.
Design/methodology/approach – A
combination of "content analysis" and "semistructured
interviews" was used to collect data.
The study conducted semi-structured interviews
with ICT personnel from six out of the eight
public universities in Tanzania in 2011.
Findings – The study found that the adoption of
e-learning and web 2.0 technologies is still in its
infancy stages in the Tanzania public
universities. However, there was much
enthusiasm amongst respondents for developing
the potential of e-learning and web 2.0 tools in
their universities.
Practical implications –The study seeks to
promote an academic inquiry about the need for
innovative web 2.0 technologies in learning and
teaching and the adoption of these emerging
technologies in African’s higher learning
institutions
Originality/value - The study provides
empirical findings on the use e-learning and web
2.0 for higher education, specifically in the
Tanzanian context. The study provides a basis for
further research on the use of Web 2.0
technologies in higher education |
