The expected outcome of the workshop is that the ideas, knowledge and experiences emerging from the inception workshop will be harnessed in an inbuilt process of learning and adaptation to enhance the quality and relevance of PedaL. The event will also foster deeper understanding of PedaL and secure broad based ownership by key university stakeholders that will drive demand, replication and increased access as PedaL becomes more visible across the continent. It will also stem important conversations with policy actors and strengthen the academia-policy nexus that is critical for further engagement around an enabling policy environment for creating systemic change in teaching and learning across universities on the continent.
