With the advent of the internet a technology enhanced teaching was developed to teach the new generation of students. The birth of e-learning revolutionized the education system. This online education system makes use of different strategies to teach online students, thus more and more e learning development tools were created to provide more enjoying and interactive ways of teaching. One of these development or authoring tools is Flash Animation. It is an authoring environment, an animation sequencer and vector-based drawing program. This program allows creative artists and online authors to provide creative content and modules through the use of animation.
Some online learning systems use video game types of test that student will find informative but at the same time entertaining as well. Videogames was criticized back when it became popular in the 80’s, many people back then believed that video games ruins students’ study habit. Well, this is true however back then people do not see its benefits. Ataris, Family Computer, Gameboys were seen as distraction for kids and students back then. But a test regarding kids playing showed that these “kiddie” games improve positive skills. It promotes hand-eye coordination which is necessary for adult skills like machine operating and driving. Some games also increase the reasoning skills and critical thinking of the players of the game.

Capitalizing on the Power of an Executive Education
A very important element of getting on the right career path is to get the correct college degree – therefore having clarity of mind and intent is paramount when going for executive education and ultimately getting on a career path that is in alignment with your interests and strengths. When a prospective employer looks at a job application, he/she will look at (A) educational relevance and (B) job experience – hence the need to have executive education and previous work experience to be in line with each other.
One way of landing that all elusive management and mid-management job is to do internships and volunteer work that would polish and refine your management and leadership skills in an industry of your liking and preference – doing this will give you an unbeatable edge. However, not everyone would be in a financially stable enough position to do internships and volunteer work. If this is the case then consider engaging in university and college funded projects that are in alignment with your career goals. These projects have the potential to teach you important skills such as planning, budgeting, costing, forecasting and various aspects of project management.

Should we and can we develop an African philosophy of education?: Pedagogy of Sagacity
In 1986, Njoroge and Bennaars, published Philosophy and education in Africa; an introductory text for students of education. Since the publication of this textbook there has been an intellectual aridity in this area of educational philosophizing in Kenya. This is in spite of the said textbook being merely introductory or prolegomenon. More importantly is the model proposed and formulated in this textbook intended as a conceptual framework for developing an African philosophy of education (1986; 92). This model has remained un-attempted.
My paper will argue in the affirmative while distinguishing should as a non-moral normative imperative and can as a question of ability. While indeed we should develop African philosophy of education this imperative remains unachievable until we have experts with requisite scholarly abilities.
