This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at education management information systems (EMIS). EMIS are pivotal in educational administration, facilitating the digitisation of processes and data to enable informed decision-making. However, persistent challenges impede their effectiveness. We examine why it is vital to consider how EMIS are designed...

Gilgit-Baltistan, located in the northernmost part of Pakistan, is a region known for its mountainous geography. Its complex geography creates challenges for education, such as geographic isolation and infrastructural limitations. While technology offers the potential to overcome these barriers of isolation, several infrastructural and capacity barriers prevent equitable access to EdTech. The Government of Gilgit-Baltistan has strived to respond to these barriers by introducing a more...

This publication is one part of a series of Rapid Evidence Reviews (RERs) that has been produced by EdTech Hub as part of the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education (SAGE) Programme. The programme aims to enhance foundational learning opportunities for all by breaking down barriers that hinder the educational achievements of girls and marginalised learners. The purpose of the RERs is to provide education decision-makers with accessible, evidence-based summaries of good...

EdTech Hub is seeking to work with the education in emergencies (EiE) sector to develop quality standards and guidance relating to the effective implementation of educational technology (EdTech) in crisis contexts. To ensure that this work is genuinely meaningful and helpful, it is important to understand what guidance is already available in this space, and what effective guidance could look like. To do this, we reviewed existing guidance documents relating to the design and implementation...

MEWAKA (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini, or teacher continuous professional development [TCPD]) is a landmark teacher professional development programme being implemented by the Government of Tanzania. The research project, 'The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based TPD Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania, using Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR)', closely aligns with the Tanzania National TCPD implementation plan, to evaluate the implementation of MEWAKA at school level....

This document was produced in response to a request from the UNICEF Mozambique country office submitted to the EdTech Hub Helpdesk in November 2023. The UNICEF team requested a curated list of blended learning approaches and resources that are relevant to the Mozambique context, with a special focus on resources that are implemented or sourced from the Eastern and Southern Africa region. In response, the EdTech Hub Helpdesk has created this report to provide contextual and background...

Systematic literature reviews are often conducted manually in many research organisations. This topic brief explores the use of AI to automate the literature review process in the field of EdTech in order to improve the speed and efficiency of creating literature reviews across the sector. The topic brief is guided by the following questions: What tools are available for organisations and projects to use to automate evidence reviews? How appropriate are existing tools? Are they easy to use?...

This document is designed as a guide for building and implementing a content management system, specifically an evidence library, prioritising the needs of research programmes generating evidence for other researchers and policymakers and for public readership and global dissemination. The primary focus is on securely building a system to meet research discovery requirements, such as search engine optimisation, and visibility on Google Scholar. A robust content management system like an...

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. This includes policies, government leadership, private-sector partnerships, and digital infrastructure for education. The scans are intended to be comprehensive but are by no means exhaustive; nonetheless, we hope they will serve as a useful starting point for more in-depth discussions about opportunities and barriers in EdTech in specific countries and, in this case, Vietnam. This report was...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at the potential for participatory methods to bring teachers closer to the decision-making table. Insights from those closest to the work shed light on the daily contextual realities that can determine the mechanisms for optimal success or failure of a programme. However, these voices are often neglected...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at the behaviour change strategy of leveraging concise messages at strategic decision points (i.e., ‘nudging’) to influence the behaviour of a recipient towards a desired outcome. We focus on EdTech Hub’s work concerning nudge messaging. It builds on work from messaging interventions in Ghana and Kenya,...

The Cohort Learning Handbook captures EdTech Hub’s approach to building cohorts on its Evidence-Led Entrepreneurship Course. The course aims to help entrepreneurs adopt and utilise evidence to learn and to scale their products and services. The Handbook is for individuals and organisations who support EdTech entrepreneurs (e.g., accelerators, entrepreneurship programmes, and funders). Building a cohort supports entrepreneurs to learn quickly and more confidently as a result of learning with,...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at how decision-makers should consider cost-effectiveness when contemplating investing in EdTech programmes. Cost-effectiveness is a critically important consideration for anyone planning investments in EdTech, but it is also a complex one, which requires understanding the total cost of an intervention and...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at digital personalised learning (DPL), a promising EdTech approach to improving learning outcomes, and consider how to implement this approach in school settings. We draw on work from EdTech Hub and other prominent researchers to first unpack the ‘basics’ of DPL implementation. These include the importance...

The sub-Saharan Africa region is trapped in a learning crisis with devastating implications for children. The Covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the situation, with children losing an estimated equivalent of an additional year’s learning. Not addressing the regional learning crisis will have a detrimental impact on economic development and well-being and risks restricting future national and regional economic growth and productivity and fuelling social unrest. Education research has shown...
