Kenya is all set for a knowledge revolution as the concept of t-learning awaits launch. T-learning is different from e-learning in that it can be propagated without the use of internet and high end computer gadgets. One only needs a television, a set top box and subscription to Kenya Broadcasting Corporation's digital services, which most of the residents in this region have. KBC, in collaboration with KIE (Kenya Institute of Education) will provide t-learning channels to the citizens of the country.
KIE will be responsible for developing the content and the look of the channels and KBC will look after the broadcasting. It is a great step in the education sector as not many people here have access to internet or for that matter own a computer. A look at the statistics reveals that currently there are 5million television owners in the country as against 1 million computer owners.
The launch of t-learning services will also provide the adult population of the country alternative means of learning and doing things. What more, with the innovations in the set top boxes and other allied technologies, one will also be able to record the broadcast content and watch it at a later time. But this all will have to wait as the launch of t-learning systems is scheduled for April and the entire thing is still under Beta stages.
The concept of t-learning is not a new one. it was launched in the year 2006 in Europe, with the aid of European Union and has been pretty much successful there especially in the countries of Latvia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary etc. where the number of people having access to internet services is on the lower side.
