I am called WAMONHI DAVIS from Uganda in East Africa. I am currently working with War Child Canada in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in South Western Uganda as Senior Education Officer. I work on a UNICEF funded project providing Lower Secondary Education to refugee youth through Accelerated Education Program. Originally, I was a High School Teacher Handling History and Economics for over ten years. I also have background training in education administration and curriculum studies. I taught mainly in the post genocide Rwanda. I later pursued an M.A in Disaster Management at graduate level and briefly worked as Climate adaptation coordinator. I later enrolled for CAS EiE 2019/2020 intake for the East and South African region. My interests are mainly in Teaching, Education in Emergencies, Digital Learning in Emergencies and Disaster Management and Response.

Digital Learning in Emergencies

Digital learning is any type of learning that is accompanied or facilitated by technology or by instructional practice that makes effective use of technology. It gives individuals some element of control over time, place, path or pace.

In other words, it is a learning method based on the use of new digital tools to enable learners to learn in a different way, whether it be face-to-face, distance learning (asynchronous or synchronous) or blended learning. It is therefore not simply a question of digitizing educational content but of a set of educational methods. (to continue)
