Kepler (institution)
Kepler is a nonprofit higher education program that operates a university campus in Kigali, Rwanda. It is one of the first programs worldwide to integrate massive open online courses (MOOCs), flip teaching, and other education technology practices into a blended learning curriculum, with the goal of lowering the cost of higher education without a reduction in academic quality or outcomes. All graduates of the program receive an accredited U.S. degree through Southern New Hampshire University’s competency-based program, College for America.
Kepler is funded primarily through a grant from the IKEA Foundation. In April 2014, Christopher Hedrick joined the organization as its CEO.
==History==
Kepler is being incubated within Generation Rwanda, a non-governmental organization founded in 2004. Its aim is to provide scholarships to local universities to Rwanda’s highest achieving secondary school graduates that could not otherwise afford higher education. The organization claims to have a 98% graduation rate as well as a 98% employment rate—outcomes far higher than the regional average.
In 2013, Kepler ran its first pilot program, using a University of Edinburgh course through Coursera. In 2013, 50 students were chosen from 2,696 applicants and enrolled in the founding class. In 2014, another class of 100 students was selected, following a series of tests and interviews.
