• A strong underpinning learning theory– Conversational Framework

Conversational Framework

• Use of appropriate technologies: mobile phone and HTML5

HTML5 – offline use, ‘device-independent’

• On-going support and sustainability – Works on phones that trainees and tutors have

access to– Can easily be updated without much investment

in technical expertise– Is aligned to AMREF’s elearning curriculum and

the context in which they work
