• Presenting a reflection on early lessons that have been learned from the first six months of the project and the implications that these might have for African higher education generally;

• Exploring the kinds of use of educational technology that might be most powerful for use in African higher education, based on the experiences of the project and the participating universities;

• Introducing the emerging research agenda being developed within the project;

• Discussed how other African universities might link with and participate in the activities of the PHEA’s Educational Technology Initiative.
