HIETEC 2024

Higher Education in developing countries is undergoing rapid transformation necessitated by  generational shift in learning behaviors, emerging virtual learning  technologies and challenges posed by unpredictable pandemics among other factors . Higher education is no longer confined  to spaces between stone walls;  knowledge resources are now ubiquitous and versatile. Thus, there is growing concern on how responsive and adaptive is our higher education ecosystem to the opportunities being offered by disruptive eLearning  technologies.  

The  HiETec-2024  hybrid conference  is being  co-organized by Daystar University and Amref International University ODeL directorates  to provide a platform for higher education stakeholders and experts  to learn from cutting edge research presentations and case studies on dynamic use of disruptive eLearning technologies. This will provide an opportunity for networking in the industry and benchmarking of  emerging and evidence based best practices in delivery of quality virtual training in higher education.

The conference sub-themes are:

• The role of emerging disruptive education technologies in optimizing learning outcomes.
