Abstract

Zuena and Mary, who hail from different rural regions of Uganda, are participants in a program of research on language and literacy education, conducted in collaboration with faculty and graduate students (Ugandan and Canadian) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). They are discussing some of the merits of the eGranary digital portable library, which has been incorporated into the UBC research program. As student and teacher, respectively, Zuena and Mary are highlighting the potential of digital technology to enhance learning and teaching, and to promote both collaborative and independent learning.
