3. WHAT IS DIGITAL FUN FAIR?
Digital Fun Fair™ is a gathering of experts and diverse classes
of e-learning stakeholders to map Nigerian e-learning space
towards unleashing the national workforce that will drive the
economy to the expected height come 2020. This is not just
about technology: it’s about equipping the nation’s greatest
assets; the human capital and reshaping the education and
human capital development sector.
E-learning is all about unlocking human potentials through the
aid of the latest Information and Communication Technologies.
Digital Fun Fair is a fast growing e-learning fair that brings e-
learning platform creators, producers, marketers, regulatory
authorities, facilitators, direct
beneficiaries, promoters, integrators and associations
together for annual e-learning audits; checks and balances as
well as leads the way in creating world class African e-
learning frameworks, standards and metrics.
The fair engages e-learning stakeholders in diverse practical ICT
applications such as workshops, plenary
sessions, games, awards and competitions. This is targeted at
creating awareness of various leading e-learning/digital
education solutions to private and public schools as well as
relevant authorities to bridge the divide between educational
solutions developers, regulatory bodies and the school
authorities/students.
