While appropriate methods enhance learner achievement, inappropriate approaches stifle knowledge retention and application. While empirical studies in Kenya have focused on subjects such as Kiswahili, Biology and Mathematics, none has examined the linkage between instructional methods and learning achievement in business.

This paper explores the possibility of bringing e-learning to African universities through collaborative networks of public–private partnerships. It is envisaged that this approach will solve the dual problem of infrastructural barriers and weak ICT policies.

The needs of e-learning environments suggest the viability of multi stakeholder networks to share expertise and resolve issues related to training needs.
