Abstract: E-learning can improve the quality of learning outcomes among migrants and especially in refugee camps. Some studies have been done in Europe and Asia on migrant communities and how e-learning can empower them acquire knowledge to 'earn a living' and for 'right living'. This accountancy e-learning intervention was done by @iLabAfrica for the past two years among refugees in Kakuma in collaboration with Windle Trust, Kenya and UNHCR. A study was needed to measure the effectiveness of e-learning from the human and design dimensions and in relation to student performance.
