Session: Digital Learning addressing the textbook shortage in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The world of education is undergoing significant evolution which causes a significant shift in course delivery, access to resources and teaching technique. Many challenges within the educational arena are being addressed through the new developments of technology, forever changing the framework of modern universities. Long gone are the days when a teacher, at the center of the educational process, provided a guide and a compass for students who were at times passive recipients. The notion of knowledge recipient was forever changed as the digital generation opens up new opportunities for educators and technology leaders to re-think their approaches. Students who were forced for centuries to have physical access to learning resources are now able to take advantage of ongoing changes in the world of education and technology and access content at their disposal accelerating their own learning process. However, while the technological advancements are changing the world of education globally, there are still many areas of the world struggling with providing students with basic resources for the effective learning process to take place. This presentation will describe an ongoing exploratory study of different approaches to pedagogy due to the rapid technological changes focusing on the use of software which enhances learning and teaching process using a few specific case studies.

Learning outcomes:

• Making audience aware of the educational challenges associated with the African textbook shortage
• Analyze how different institutions address this shortage through digital means: educational software, digital library, e-library, digital learning, educational technology.
• Evaluate a few cases of utilization of digital tools to offset textbook shortage examining their opportunities and challenges

Marketing Manager at Actyv, India

Being into a technical course, management took me by surprise during the early stage of my career.

I have been exposed to the intricate process along the way gaining more than adequate experience in B2B sales, engaging with more and more customers on various Online/ Offline platforms, creating relevant content, etc..,

I currently work as a Marketing Manager at a startup called Actyv handling day to day marketing activities along with content creation.

Now a believer of business, and with a brief history of driving dynamic product sales, managing client relationships, and substantially increasing revenues, understanding user behaviors accordingly I would love to share my part of the experience on the factor that impacts the most in marketing and is much necessary to any marketeer.

Session: The Power of Storytelling – Future of Marketing

I believe. Marketing is more than just attracting customers. It’s connecting. The great way to do it is by Storytelling. I will be talking about power of storytelling and women taking over the future of marketing.

According to data, 76% of millennials give only 2 to 3 chances to a brand before they walk out of the brand, 40% of them do not emotionally connect with a brand. Consumers today are practical and also have very little attention span. As a brand, it is important for us to give them something genuine and real to hold on to. It is the need of the hour and the best way is Storytelling.
