Role in E-Learning Advancement

The network has played a key role in supporting universities in their transition to digital learning in many ways.

It provides broadband internet services by connecting member institutions to the national and global internet. This ensures that members are provided with a secure, fast, reliable, and dedicated internet connection that promotes research, education, innovation, and collaboration among institutions to help them accomplish their educational and research mandates.

KENET also facilitates the use of ICT in research across institutions. The network has established a gateway that provides access to advanced e-infrastructures used for research globally. These resources are available to members of the International Research and Education Community, enabling universities and scholars in Kenya to connect with world-class digital research tools and collaborations.
