Fiser, A. (2012) Major step achieved to improve educational opportunities through e-learning at Yaoundé I University in Cameroon, United Nations University, January 24
United Nations University in Bonn and the University of Yaoundé I signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize the institutional collaboration between the two universities. This e-learning initiative helps to cope with the dramatically rising student enrolments and to counteract scarce resources (teaching staff, learning material, lecture halls).

This is really a good initiative.
I hope some learning materials will be developped as OER (Open Educational Resources), especially in french
Michael,I tlotaly agree. Your point aptly describes some of the key limitations in when enterprises try to use it as a collaboration platform. It continues to fall short in the social networking and collaboration requirements for supporting informal and social learning. I noted a similar point a couple of years ago about this issues and it continues to remain relevant.
