1. Multimedia Learning Principles in African Contexts

Examining Clark & Mayer’s Multimedia Principles and Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) in mobile-first, resource-constrained settings.

• How can multimedia design reduce cognitive load when connectivity is limited?
• How can cultural storytelling be integrated into multimedia instruction?
• What adaptations are needed for African learners?

2. Generative AI for Rapid Content Adaptation

Investigating how AI tools can accelerate course design while ensuring accuracy and inclusivity.

• How can generative AI help scale educational resources in Africa?
• What frameworks ensure explainability and ethical use?
• How do humans and AI collaborate in instructional design?

3. Educational Resilience in System Transitions

Understanding how learners adapt when educational systems undergo reform (curriculum shifts, digital adoption).

• What fosters resilience during times of change?
• How do mindset, scaffolding, and digital readiness shape learner outcomes?
• How can policy and practice better support transitions?

4. Actionable Data in Learning Design

Exploring how to move beyond surface-level metrics to granular, actionable insights.

• How can data capture real learning progress in online courses?
• How do we design iteration loops that improve courses over time?
• What ethical considerations arise in using learner data for improvement?
