Paper Abstract:
|
Indigenous knowledge can advance sustainable development, and its preservation is of the utmost importance. Indigenous
knowledge is mostly present within older generations, and without preservation, it will die with its custodians. African
communities rely heavily on indigenous knowledge, which is dynamic and is constantly evolving. A digital tool that can
preserve practices relating the knowledge can highlight its dynamic nature. This paper presents a conceptual theoretical
model to guide the design of an e-learning system aimed at facilitating the preservation of indigenous knowledge. Data
was collected utilizing a literature review. The conceptual theoretical model shows that preserving indigenous knowledge
through e-learning would require, among other things, engagement with the relevant knowledge custodians and
compliance with necessary legal requirements. |
