Utilising a combination of a systematic literature review…

While technological advances have led to digital transformation in many higher education institutions (HEIs), digital divide, especially among students in developing nations, is becoming a growing concern. This study aims to investigate the use of digital technology among B40 students (students from the lower socioeconomic backgrounds) in…

The use of technologies is seen as a solution to provide high-quality education to the disadvantaged population in the Global South, based on the narrative of 'disruption and revolution designed to supplant 'broken' educational practices at the local level' (Gallagher 2019). Rural schools in Colombia are the most vulnerable to a highly unequal…

Tech use in teaching and learning has been considered as a contributory factor aiding academic success. Its lack in rural schools has also been considered as a hindrance to quality education. This study through a qualitative method explored the intersection of innovation and technology use as well as the challenges of disconnection. This was done…

Access to quality education for all children is important for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals especially in Africa. However, information and communication technologies (ICTs) and access to electricity have continued to be burning issues hindering access to quality education in Africa. However, empirical evidence on the impact of ICTs…

Effective organic chemistry instruction necessitates an adaptable approach that accommodates varied learning styles and improves students' comprehension of concepts. To attain this goal, teachers may employ visualization, molecular modeling, and interactive software to explain three-dimensional structures and spatial interactions. Thus, the…

This study explores the level of engagement with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) supported content among students and teachers in learning sciences and basic computing at Rwandan lower secondary schools. Data were collected from ten well-equipped smart classrooms across ten schools. A sample of 394 participants included ten deputy…

The EdTech sector has seen rapid growth in the past decade, further catalysed by the Covid-19 pandemic that required many teachers and schools to turn to technology-based solutions to support learning over periods of school closures (Karboul, 2020).
