About Elias Kinyua
Delve deeper into the experience, expertise, and vision that define my professional journey.
I am a digital learning strategist working at the nexus of policy, pedagogy, platforms, and systems — helping organizations design, govern, and scale digital learning in real-world contexts. For over a decade, I have supported education systems, institutions, corporate learning teams, publishers, and development partners to tackle complex learning challenges, especially where constraints such as limited infrastructure, shared access, and capacity pressures shape what is possible. My work is driven by a belief that digital learning is most successful when it is treated not as a technology project but as an integrated system involving governance, instructional intent, platforms, and people.
What I Do
Strategic direction & policy alignment
Aligning digital learning initiatives with institutional priorities, governance frameworks, and long‑term education and workforce goals.

Consulting Approach
A pragmatic, systems‑oriented approach to implementing digital learning initiatives in constrained environments.
Context‑Driven Diagnosis
Starting with a grounded understanding of infrastructure, institutional capacity, learner access, and policy realities—focusing on root constraints rather than surface symptoms.
