SUMMARY:Academic Leadership Summit (ALS) – 2026
DESCRIPTION:Academic Leadership Summit (ALS) – 2026 \nTheme: Designing\, Developing\, and Delivering High-Impact Online Learning in African Universities \n\n BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE\n\nThe Association of African Universities (AAU) recognizes the critical and accelerating need for African higher education institutions to strengthen their capacity for online education. Although many universities on the continent have established policies and platforms\, they continue to encounter distinct challenges\, including infrastructure limitations\, varying levels of digital proficiency\, and resource constraints. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive\, contextually relevant support to ensure the effective design\, development\, and delivery of high-quality online learning experiences that meet the evolving needs of African students and institutions. \nIn response\, the Academic Leadership Summit (ALS) – 2026 will convene as a five-day\, intensive\, hands-on workshop from 5–9 October 2026 at the AAU Secretariat in Accra\, Ghana. The programme is strategically designed for faculty\, instructional designers\, IT professionals\, and academic leaders from African universities. Through a carefully structured\, immersive experience\, participants will build a robust online course ecosystem—from curriculum design to implementation and management—tailored to the realities and opportunities within Africa’s higher education landscape. \nRegister here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/QN0RusjAFN \n
