Oracle Academy promotes Technology Education at eLearning Africa ...

The eLearning Africa Conference and Exhibition 2024 held at Kigali Convention Centre, Rwanda, May 29 - 31, 2024, was themed 'Education Fuels Innovation, Investment Amplifies Skills'. It was a mix of innovation, education, and technology, bringing together educators, tech enthusiasts, and thought leaders from across Africa and beyond.

Among the many notable participants, Oracle Academy's exhibition stood out, offering an inspiring look at how cutting-edge technology education can be harnessed to revolutionize education. Oracle Academy's participation at the conference underscored Oracle's commitment to empowering educators and students through technology, showcasing a range of initiatives and tools designed to enhance learning experiences and bridge educational gaps.

Danny Gooris, Senior Regional Director, Oracle Academy, EMEA, gave a compelling presentation to the audience titled 'Oracle Academy: Fueling Technology Education, Raising Innovators' which centered on how Oracle Academy is advancing technology education globally and raising up career-ready students, thereby promoting inclusive education. The goal is to ensure that students, regardless of their background or location, have access to quality technology education.

The exhibition stand was designed to be highly interactive, allowing attendees to engage directly with Oracle Academy's team made up of Danny Gooris and Bekere Amassoma, Program Manager, Oracle Academy, Sub Saharan Africa. One of the main attractions was the demonstration of the Oracle Academy Cloud Program, a platform that provides access to Oracle Cloud Free Tier for members and their anytime/anywhere students ― with easy signup and all the benefits of Oracle Academy memberships. The stand visitors were able to see how educators can use the cloud for classroom teaching and learning to prepare students to become tomorrow's technology innovators and leader.

Recognizing the important role of educators in the learning process, Oracle Academy placed a strong emphasis on teacher empowerment. The exhibition featured a range of professional development resources aimed at helping teachers integrate technology into their classrooms effectively with Oracle Academy teaching and learning resources. The program offers a range of curricula, cloud, support, software licenses, Oracle Academy Education Bytes, career-based learning content, professional development opportunities, and more.

The impact of Oracle Academy's work extends far beyond the conference, as the program continues to drive innovation and foster a global community of educators dedicated to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed in the digital age. The eLearning Africa Conference and Exhibition 2024 was not just a conference and exhibition event, it was also a glimpse into the future of education, where technology and human ingenuity come together to create a brighter, more inclusive world for all learners.
