| Résumé : |
This book interrogates media and technology in the 21st century higher
and tertiary education in Africa. Using Zimbabwe as its case study, the
book highlights the immense changes that the digital revolution has
brought to higher institutions of learning in Africa, including changes
in teaching and learning. Framed from an anti-colonial perspective, the
book argues that digital change, though critical in revolutionising
education in Africa, has come with a price as it has resulted in some
epistemological erasures and injustices meted against the poor. The book
makes a critical contribution as it quests to correct the misdemeanours
and injustices caused by digital gaps in African societies. The authors
argue that the future and success of digital technology in Africa lie
in how well African countries will culturally and contextually sensor
technology and attend to the problems caused by digital gaps. The book
provides a re-invigorated overview and nuanced analyses of the role of
media and technology in revolutionising 21st century higher and tertiary
education in Africa. It provides pointers and insights on how African
countries can reformulate their education policy in a manner that is in
sync with the level of digital technology of the time. This is an
important addition to critical debates on media and technology studies
in education in Africa. |
