Abstract
This chapter reports on the experiences of The University of British Columbia (UBC) as a partner in the delivery of a secondary teacher education program in Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kenya. We focus on the use of technology in program delivery, but also explain how the unique context of Dadaab influenced decisions about how various technologies were used in program delivery. We believe it is important to share the lessons learned in this project with others who may be considering working in any of the growing number of refugee/ displaced persons contexts around the world so they may benefit from our experience.
