| Abstract (English): | Tumaini University, Iringa University College in Tanzania began to develop technology-enhanced learning in 1999. At the beginning of the process, the college had no public computer laboratories. The e-learning capacity was gradually developed over the following 11 years: computer laboratories, a local area network, an electronic library collection, a dedicated IT support department, Internet connections, electronic presentations, a B.Sc. program in IT, video lectures, and online learning. In this article, we analyse the complex network of challenges that we faced during the development process. We discuss technical issues with ICT equipment, system administration, and networks, and we analyse socio-cultural issues with training, funding, and pedagogy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | La Escuela Universitaria Iringa, de la Universidad de Tanzania, empezó a desarrollar el aprendizaje mejorado gracias a la tecnologéa en 1999. Al principio del proceso, la escuela universitaria no disponéa de laboratorios informáticos públicos. La capacidad de e-learning se desarrolló gradualmente durante los 11 años siguientes: laboratorios informáticos, una red de área local, una colección de biblioteca electrónica, un departamento de soporte TI dedicado, conexiones a Internet, presentaciones electrónicas, un programa de licenciatura en TI, conferencias de védeo y aprendizaje en lénea. En este artéculo, analizaremos la compleja red de desaféos a los que nos hemos enfrentado durante la fase de desarrollo. Tratamos temas técnicos con equipos TIC, administración de sistemas y redes, y analizamos temas socioculturales mediante formación, financiación y pedagogéa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
