The collection foregrounds translanguaging practices, mother-tongue instruction, mobile learning, AI-assisted tools, and Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) as mechanisms for decolonising curricula, enhancing learner agency, and addressing deep-seated educational disparities across diverse African nations. Drawing on empirical studies from East, Southern, and West Africa, the volume demonstrates how blended learning, when designed with cultural responsiveness, linguistic justice, and infrastructural realities in mind, can transform educational access and quality. Contributors engage with critical questions about instructor presence in digitally mediated spaces, the integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) with contemporary technologies, workplace wellness through indigenous healing practices, assessment in multilingual contexts, and the ethical dimensions of data governance in African universities. By converging insights from linguistics, education technology, curriculum studies, cultural studies, and decolonial theory, this collection fills a critical void in scholarship that rarely brings these domains into sustained conversation within African-specific contexts. The volume directly aligns with the African Union's Agenda 2063 and UN Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education) and 10 (Reduced Inequalities), offering evidence-based pathways for realising the skills revolution through practical, implementable models tested in real African classrooms.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsaac Mhute \u003c\/strong\u003eis an Associate Professor and Academic Services Coordinator with the Institute of Distance Education at the University of Eswatini and a Senior Research Associate in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.
