History, one page at a time.

This online platform seeks to showcase a dynamic historical timeline of this region, including not only content intended to entertain, inform, and teach but also provides a repository for documentation chronicling this region’s history.

The platform will disseminate historical documentation, heritage, and cultural information via online media that seeks to influence, shape, inform, and reconcile viewers’ opinions and behaviours towards our history and, in turn, preserve it.

Education often doesn’t go hand in hand with entertainment, but that’s precisely what edutainment is—the goal is to make the user experience enjoyable.

In the classroom, edutainment can take the form of media, games, toys, and experiences that mix fun and learning to motivate students. In our case, it can and should stimulate and challenge users’ minds and preconceptions, gaining cultural and historical insight and better retaining important facts, thereby preserving our history of Central Africa. Gamification can also be used alongside edutainment to create more engaging user content. These learning tactics can ultimately lead to better enlightening experiences and increased information retention.
