A Motivation for 'Ubuntu' to Enhance e-Learning Social Network Services in South Africa

摘要

This paper acknowledges the move from the content-centric to the network-centric approach to teaching and learning using Social Network Services (SNSs) in Higher Education. The South African cultural context is explained with a view to reconciling this with current SNSs. Finally, a way forward is proposed for developing SNSs particular to the Southern African cultural context.
