Infographic: Mobile Learning in Africa

• 1 min read

In fact, large rural populations across Africa are now avid users of mobile learning technologies, while relatively few have experienced self-paced e-learning on a PC. Another interesting fact which applies in Africa is that Telecoms have a significant advantage in developing economies as they are often the only electronic payment gateway.

As we examine mobile learning around the world we see the following: Africa has the highest mobile learning growth rate in the world, whilst Asia will generate the highest revenues for mobile learning on the planet (look out for our next infographic in coming weeks!). North America follows the typical pattern of a mature market: low growth rate, with high revenues generated.

Here we are taking a closer look at Africa – the continent with the highest mobile learning growth rate in the world – where several countries have mobile penetration rates at over 100% and the mobile telecom market is forecast to grow to US $234 billion by 2020.
