—In response to address different development
challenges, Tanzania is striving to achieve its fourth attribute of the
National Development Vision, i.e. to have a well educated and
learned society by the year 2025. One of the most cost effective
methods that can reach a large part of the society in a short time is to
integrate ICT in education through e-learning initiatives. However, elearning
initiatives are challenged by limited or lack of connectivity
to majority of secondary schools, especially those in rural and remote
areas. This paper has explores the possibility for rural secondary
school to access online e-Learning resources from a centralized eLearning
Management System (e-LMS). The scope of this paper is
limited to schools that have computers irrespective of internet
connectivity, resulting in two categories schools; those with internet
access and those without. Different connectivity configurations have
been proposed according to the ICT infrastructure status of the
respective schools. However, majority of rural secondary schools in
Tanzania have neither computers nor internet connection. Therefore
this is a challenge to be addressed for the disadvantaged schools to
benefit from e-Learning initiatives. |
