ONLINE AFRICA MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHING “For those who ignore truthful lessons from the past, history is bound to repeat itself”

Dear Fellow African and Black Educators and Crowd Funders:

We are pleased to invite you, your students and life-long learners to participate in year-round Black History celebrations and competitions sponsored by the OnLine Africa Multimedia Group. Our multimedia and animated learning platforms are spaces where teachers and learners collaborate to develop culturally inclusive and interactive education content. Teams of teachers and learners can win scholarships, cash prizes, vouchers, computers, software and free training that will enable them to produce quality validated textbooks requested by our digital publishing clients. Our projects utilize multimedia, photography and video as digital research tools to create “participatory learning adventures” that feature subjects, stories and activities designed for and by Black people.

Our Mission is to develop the capacity of African and Diaspora people to thoroughly research, publish, distribute, and otherwise present creditable multimedia evidence of the African contribution to historical and contemporary social development. Our long-term work will create knowledge industry jobs that supply locally-produced and nationally-sanctioned curricular and extracurricular materials that will ultimately reduce Africa’s dependence on foreign-sourced teaching and learning materials and personnel. We enable teachers to create and utilize their in-depth knowledge of Africa and the Diaspora to instill pride and hope in young people by empowering them to know how to leverage the past into a successful future. Global educators are needed to develop diverse content for the pan-African education programs of our Multi-Pedia of the African World, African Footprints Project and SIMBA Sound and Image Bank.

The Problem

Black History is constantly evolving. Yet, in the opinion of many teachers, administrators, students, parents and others, not enough is being taught about the verified facts of that history and how it impacts life today. For many schools, any substantive in-depth teaching about Black history is disallowed once it goes beyond Dr. King’s movement, Rosa Parks and the slave ship. There is an ongoing assault that intends to discredit Black contributions to global development and civilization. Recently, a battery of publications by the nefarious Bill of Rights Institute have been distributed at no cost to thousands of schools. Problem is that it is right-wing brainwashing. Writer Michael Harriott of “The Root.com” recently wrote “These free resources are part of an effort by the innocuously named Bill of Rights Institute to brainwash students into buying the far-right narrative on history, politics and economics. In reality, it is an education arm of a network of right-wing charities funded by the ultraconservative Koch brothers in conjunction with a number of other conservative philanthropic individuals and organizations. So far the organization has spent millions of donated dollars and claims to have taught the Bill of Rights to more than 5 million students  and 50,000 teachers, including directly training 22,000 educators through its ‘constitutional seminars’. The lessons stress limited government, religious freedom, free-market economics and—worst of all—a revisionist version of the history of slavery that paints it as a necessary evil to further freedom and democracy”. This is a critical

Multi-P BLK TEACH BRIEF 3-22-2018 1

situation that demands drastic action by Black and African education and training organizations. One immediate solution involves making effective use of extracurricular programs like our African Footprints Project which is developing multimedia modules for teachers using the widely acclaimed UNESCO “General History of Africa” Textbook (GHA).

Recent occurrences during the 2018 Black History Month celebrations are alarming. A principal of a New York City public school ignited a large protest when she refused to allow an English teacher to include a lesson about the Harlem Renaissance. She stated “such subjects are only to be taught in social science classes”. At a private New York City school, a young student named Malcom Xavier Combs was disallowed to wear a “Malcom X” sweatshirt while being admonished by his teacher, “You don’t want to be associated with that man”. Clearly Black History is again being effectively whitewashed.

Possible Solutions

If students are to learn truthful history from balanced perspectives, proactive curricular and extracurricular knowledge movements can play a vital part. Since 1993, OnLine Knowledge Foundation has supported development of culture-specific learning materials designed to empower future generations of learners to effectively refute the many absurd arguments that aim to diminish the achievements of people of African descent worldwide. Our key tool is our Multi-Pedia of the African World (MPAW) that has evolved from our work with many in the global knowledge community including the African Virtual University, University of Ghana, Balme Library, University of Maryland, Network of East-West Women, Library of Congress, Howard University, Vista University Soweto Campus and the Open University of Tanzania.

Today we are developing participatory interactive tools, books, digital pedagogies and innovative methods for learning history and other subjects using multimedia. Our materials are informative, educational, fact-driven, compelling, competitive, fun and financially rewarding for participants. Our content is being created in collaboration with competing teams of teachers and students who are engaged with our TheTruthAboutAfrica.com website. MPAW content is being developed, aggregated and selected by groups of teacher-authors and student knowledge clubs who use scientific evidence and historical fact to commemorate the prolific contributions the sons and daughters of Africa have made to global civilization and development. We are developing supplemental content for the UNESCO General History Of Africa Project, the African Virtual University Teacher Education Project, Interlink Alliance, African Union African Liberation Heritage Project, Kid Positive, UNESCO Culture In Education Project and Out Of Eden Learn Project of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. Our work presents new opportunities for previously silenced voices to be heard as competent producers and knowledgeable consumers of culturally inclusive validated learning products that blend digital and traditional knowledge systems. We advocate and support research that stimulates critical thinking which, in turn encourages dialogue about ways people of African descent can collectively build solidarity and economic power using knowledge. Young students learn to read, write and think critically by exploring their unique histories while engaging with our popular animated television and online series Tell Me Who I Am.

Teachers, students and lifelong learners are invited to participate and compete in our 2018 Black History and African Liberation Heritage programs as digital storytellers, photographers and content aggregators. Contestants can win cash and equipment for digital programs in their schools.

DIGITAL PUBLISHING RATIONALE

Around the world, educational publishers are experimenting with new business models. One thing is certain—whatever form publishing takes in the future, it will be increasingly dependent upon images and sounds to bring words to life for the consumers and producers of digital media that are proliferating Africa and the world.

According to "The 2015-2020 Africa Digital English Language Learning Market Report" by the international research organization, Ambient Insight, "Africa is the most dynamic learning technology market on the planet”. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for digital English language learning products in Africa is 17.1% and revenues will reach $72.3 million by 2020, up from $32,8 million in 2015. The report goes on to say "There are multiple catalysts driving the digital English language learning market: English being used as a bridge language in countries with many languages (sometimes hundreds) in use, large-scale digitization initiatives in the academic segments, new government educational policies designed to increase English proficiency, consumer demand for mobile language learning apps, particularly in mobile-only countries, and a strong demand for Precision English for Specific Purposes (PESP) like academic, aviation, hospitality, and business English."

African intellectual capital is increasing in value, but once again African people are being excluded from resultant revenue streams. College electronic book revenue in the US will reach US$2.2bn in 2018, accounting for 43% of total college book revenue. This is amazing growth considering there were few, if any practical and affordable e-books in 2004. This emerging digital knowledge industry is part of the $21 Billion global market that is expected to reach $37 Billion before the end of this decade. The Internet is radically transforming the $14 billion U.S. textbook industry. The Multi-Pedia of the African World (MPAW) contains panel-validated and audio-visually compelling content within a searchable digital framework. Content is also cross-referenced and interlinked through keywords, events, places, date, people, object, inventions and inventors.

MPAW is a source of quality content for teachers who are creating their own re-mixable textbook modules and culture-specific digital lesson plans. Many teachers, learners and researchers will be the profit-sharing authors of these new digital books and other learning materials. Task specialization in the emerging digital instruction design paradigm generates increasing demand for images in general, and specifically for localized images. The impetus for the development of these re-mixable open textbooks is the fact that content can be more cost-effectively localized for both students and school systems than is possible with conventionally published textbooks. Open textbooks can easily be updated by instructors, enabling them to provide a better learning experience for their students.

Globally, the image of people of African descent continues to be under assault as “information war lords” restrict and deny public access to the success stories and accomplishment of African people that could inspire future generations. This has negatively impacted the individual and collective self-esteem of Black people everywhere. It has also impeded their ability to act locally while thinking globally. Multi-Pedia can help overcome this problem by providing valuable resources to assist both new self-publishers and established traditional publishers who are being forced to redefine themselves and their missions inside of new business models.

Technology has empowered previously marginalized people to define themselves and present positive media role models for curious and impressionable learners of all ages. Africans can now become intellectual and equity partners in creating and distributing innovative learning materials following basic and advanced multimedia production training and mentored field practice provided through the OnLine Africa Multimedia Group. Other economic opportunities and jobs will be created as our relatively small, but transformational economic engines are implemented.

About the OnLine Africa Multimedia Group

We have worked with global affiliates in many countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and the U.S. for over 20 years as consultants to the World Bank African Virtual University Project, US National Digital Library Project, USAID Leland Initiative for Internet Connectivity in Africa, Academy for Educational Development Learn Link Project, UNESCO Centres of Excellence in Journalism Education Programme and other stakeholders in Africa’s digital education, training and media development.

We are currently organizing highly-motivated African teachers who have participated in previous technology training projects and who wish to collaborate with advanced-level professional development programs for primary through university level teachers, students and librarians.

Our goals are accomplished through engagement in the following activity areas:

Multimedia content development

We are currently developing and cataloging MPAW content from our Afrikan Footprints Project (AFP) that is designed to complement the UNESCO General History of Africa Textbook Project (GHA), African Virtual University Teacher Education Project, Out Of Eden Learn Project (OOEL) and the Mwalimu JK Nyerere Centre for Good Governance, Leadership and Media Studies.

Tra i ning

To maintain a high level of quality content submissions, we provide professional training in digital storytelling, photography and smartphone filmmaking. An immediate goal for MPAW is to develop a critical mass of trained, experienced digital storytellers and well-disciplined photographers, videographers, artists and digital designers of publications and games who can help us meet the escalating demands of our affiliated educational publishers, greeting card printers and multimedia producers for content that can only be generated locally. (more information)

Networking

We are developing an active and widespread network of Knowledge Clubs and Communities of Practical Engagement (COPE) that will undertake specific projects. These groups will be composed of local and international educators, students, teachers, librarians, scholars, archivists and lifelong learners to better regulate the images and rhetoric our children will encounter when learning history that is more culturally inclusive. We are constructing a large and diverse network of community organizations, schools and teacher federations. (more information)

Contests and Competitions

To nurture and discover fresh talent and materials, TheTruthAboutAfrica.com website hosts competitions for educators, students, writers, image-makers and storytellers. We also plan to host a “College Knowledge Bowl” competition based on common multidisciplinary curricular content every university student should be expected to learn.

To qualify to win cash and equipment rewards, contestants are required to register for our free self-paced training course "Shedding Light on Pictorial Excellence" (SLOPE). Three SLOPE photography and graphic design textbooks were cited as Best Practice at the annual E-Learning Africa Conference held in Dar es Salaam in 2011. (more information)

FLAGSHIP PROJECTS

TheTruthAboutAfrica.com, SIMBA Sound and Image Bank and Multi-Pedia Of The African World are the flagship digital library and multimedia publishing projects of the OnLine Africa Multimedia Group (OLAMG). We have developed a learning community to help us meet the rapidly escalating global demand for culture-specific multimedia learning content for formal and informal education and lifelong learning across disciplines. We provide gateways to validated information for, and by teachers, students, writers, scholars, researchers media producers, creative artists, entrepreneurs, investors, and other development stakeholders. Our projects feature remixable annotated multimedia databases of sight and sound resources that support and enrich the academic research of African Diaspora scholars, teachers, intellectuals, activists, professionals and learners seeking to conduct in-depth study of topics that impact the African World today.

TheTruthAboutAfrica.com is our content development competition website that enables students and teachers to compete as they learn to produce high quality audio and video learning programs.

SIMBA (Sounds and Images for Multimedia and Books About Africa) generates visuals for stories that explore Africa through the eyes and ears of indigenous Africans. To ensure the quality results demanded by our publishing clients, we provide intense multimedia skills training for aspiring professional communicators. The SIMBA Image and Sound Bank contains new and archival images that teachers can use to “illuminate” the topics and key words of their lesson plans.

The Multi-Pedia of the African World (MPAW) is a participatory digital library project that provides educational and socio-economic advancement opportunities for educators and students who are willing to learn to create multimedia materials that supplement their current curriculum, digital lesson plans, textbooks, activity books and extracurricular learning activities. Demand for such materials is growing in response to the needs of many new digital platforms for education about Africa and its documented role in global development and civilization. MPAW is an audio-visual encyclopedia that provides accurate and balanced information about Africa and the Diaspora through cross-cultural collaboration between the educational and development sectors. MPAW is an interactive publishing venture designed to fill the void left by products and methods that have proven too costly and culturally unsuitable for educating about Africa and people of African descent.

All our projects are anchored in training, networking and competitions that help teachers create effective digital and analogue learning materials that empower students to intellectually challenge the anti-African arguments concerning history they will encounter in and out of school in Africa and around the world.

We help educators and learners collaborate in creating, publishing and distributing new secondary source materials that are data-driven and inclusive of the perspectives of people of African descent around the globe. Images, sounds, videos, films, designs, animations, digital narratives, research reports and other materials in our databases will be useful for articles, digital books, lesson plans and other learning materials.

Our knowledge platforms and materials will be accessible over the wireless broadband infrastructure being installed at thousands of schools and regional learning centers currently operated or being planned by virtual learning initiatives throughout Africa and the African Diaspora.

These resources enable teachers and students to create and participate in unique dynamic and intellectually provocative learning adventures that will be available through the 35 rural learning centres of the Open University of Tanzania’s Mwalimu JK Nyerere Centre for Good Governance, Leadership and Media Studies and the 29 digital campuses of the African Virtual University.
