Benchmarking of Technology-Enabled Learning at University of Kabianga
Philip Uys
Commonwealth of Learning
Benchmarking is an important tool to compare and make deliberate progress in any field of human endeavour. For integration of technology for teaching and learning, this is relatively a new field. The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) promotes the use of technology-enabled learning (TEL) -- also referred to as "digital learning" -- for improving access to and quality of education and training in the Commonwealth. The approach has been to support policy development, improve institutional capacities and technological infrastructure to leverage the potentials of TEL. The process follows three-phases systematically -- (i) Preparation, (ii) Development and (iii) Maturation. Benchmarking is part of phase three, which indicates that the educational institution has taken steps to implement TEL in a systematic manner and is ready to take the next leap to continue the cycle of development. As such, the process of benchmarking is important, where it is expected that the institution as a whole participate, and the activities are validated by external experts to provide guidance and advice. Therefore, it is as much an internal exercise as an external validation activity. This report presents the findings of the TEL benchmarking carried out at the University of Kabianga (UoK), Kenya during September-November 2024. It provides an overview of the methodology, the validated self-study report and an action plan developed by the UoK team.
