Role Academy (Open Learning Project)
Remote Open Learning (Role) Academy project (Dnr SU-323-5.1.2-0140-20) (Project Manager: Dr. Angella Musiimenta). The project is funded by SPIDER. Role Academy integrates interactive radio instructions with visual learning enabled through graphical notebooks. It also utilizes mobile phone-memory card learning, a multimedia-based open access learning portal, and toll free-based communications to facilitate interactions between learners and teachers/project staff. Role Academy also includes building the capacity of teachers in video-based remote learning strategies. We focus on primary 6 and senior 1 Mathematics (developed based on NCDC) and basic health education (e.g. personal hygiene, sanitation, domestic violence). We target learners in 6 schools in Nakivale settlement; Kashojwa primary school, Kabazana primary school, Rubondo primary school, Juru Primary school, Kihirimbi primary school and Nakivale secondary school. The project implementation team include teachers, mathematicians, and healthcare professionals. Project officers include: Mr. Wilson Tumuhimbise, Mr. Aaron Mugaba, and Mr Elly Bangumya.
