8 - Information and Communication Technologies in Higher Education in Africa: Initiatives and Challenges
Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique,
Vol. 1 No 1 (2003): Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique
Résumé
En Afrique, les établissements d’enseignement supérieur s’évertuent à améliorer leurs technologies d’information et de communication (TICs) en termes d’infrastructure, de contenu et de capacité. Ils fournissent également des efforts énormes pour la mobilisation des ressources afin de répondre aux besoins crois- sants des étudiants et des facultés. Dans le même sens, ces établissements travaillent à se hisser à la hauteur de la pression des revendications avec efficacité. Mais ils restent confrontés au dilemme suivant: comment transformer tout ce qui est offert par les TICs en opportunités? Le rôle des TICs dans la transformation de l’enseignement supérieur en général, de la recherche, de l’éducation et de l’apprentissage en particulier. Cette contribution examine la place grandissante qu’occupent les TICs dans l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique, surtout en ce qui concerne les initiatives en cours, les progrès réalisés, les dilemmes et les défis.
