Nine Days of Collaboration. One Big Step for Digital Learning. After nine days of intensive collaboration, the Digitisation Workshop at Lake Naivasha Resort officially concluded on 11 August 2026. Supported through @WorldBankGroup funding and overseen by the @ICTAuthorityKE, the Workshop brought together OUK digitisers across the Technical, Non-Technical and Multimedia teams, external validation experts and University leadership, including Deans and Chairpersons of Departments. The closing ceremony was graced by @Profshaukat Principal Secretary for the State Department for Science, Research and Innovation and attended by representatives from the ICT Authority led by Linet Karimi, Acting Director, Partnerships, Innovation and Capacity Development. The Open University of Kenya was represented by Prof. Raphael Nyonje, Director, Quality Assurance, on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor. A key highlight was the presentation of digitised learning content by the Technical, Non-Technical and Multimedia teams, showcasing the progress made, lessons learned and areas for further refinement. Through teamwork, expert validation and a shared commitment to quality, OUK continues to transform learning content into engaging, accessible and high-quality digital learning experiences. From content to clicks, we’re building the future of learning. #StudyWithOUK #Digitisation #DigitalLearning #WorldBank #ICTAuthority #HigherEducation #YourFutureIsOpen

OUK and GSU have agreed on key areas of collaboration aimed at expanding access to higher education for disciplined officers, including those serving in remote and border areas. The collaboration will create opportunities for OUK to reach officers at various GSU stations to market its programmes and flexible learning model, while facilitating the sharing of learning materials and programme information at GSU facilities and the organisation of webinars for officers. The two institutions will also explore opportunities for jointly developing and co-creating tailor-made courses targeting the specific needs of the GSU community, as well as establishing a formal partnership that may culminate in a long-term collaboration. The discussions brought together senior officials from both institutions, led by GSU Commandant Johana Tonui, HSC, and OUK Vice Chancellor Prof. Elijah Omwenga.
