Paul Birevu Muyinda (PhD) an Associate Professor of Open, Distance and eLearning and Deputy Principal, College of Education and External Studies (CEES), Makerere University, has been named among Africa's Top 100 Movers and Shakers in Corporate Online Learning 2018.

According to the announcement published on 13th September 2018, the Top 100 list represents the views of key people about the personalities who lead the online learning world in Africa. Several hundred people received nominations. The judging process was carried out by an independent – and non-African – group of judges from the online learning technologies industry.

The announcement goes on to say that while this list is not endorsed in any way by the organisers of the eLearning Africa event, in Kigali, Rwanda, from 26 to 28 September 2018, the event’s organisers supported the idea of the List by using their extensive network to invite nominations. Moreover, they recognise that the List gives visibility and “status” to the online learning sector in Africa and promotes discussion of this sector within Africa.

Assoc. Prof. Muyinda who came in at position 62 in the Gold Category was recognised for being an e-learning champion within the academic sector.
