This is the third in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the impact of repeating learning content for pre-primary learners on learner device usage and learning outcomes. The A/B test found that content repetition had an impact on literacy and numeracy outcomes for PP2 learners. PP2 learners’ usage of the DPL tool was significantly reduced with content...

This is the fourth in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the extent to which the provision of notifications to pre-primary teachers to view data dashboards impacts learner device usage and learning outcomes. The A/B/C test found no impact on device usage and negligible impact on learning outcomes. This suggests that accompanying data dashboards with...

EDTECH AND COVID-19 10 THINGS TO KNOW Covid-19 has reshaped our world. In education, mass school closures have accelerated the global use of education technologies. Yet the benefits do not reach everyone. Since the start of the pandemic, EdTech Hub and its partners have been researching and applying evidence on what works in technology for education in different contexts. Here…

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of the existing literature on the use of accelerated learning in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with a focus on how EdTech might best be utilised for accelerated learning. It begins with a broad discussion of the components of accelerated learning, followed by a more focused discussion on how accelerated learning has been used to enhance learning outcomes for marginalised groups in LMICs. An exploration of how EdTech can be...

This exploratory mixed-methods study investigates the factors that shape where teachers want to work in Sierra Leone. We identify five dominant factors: monetary incentives, school conditions, opportunities for professional development and support, school location, and relationships with the school and the community. Importantly, these factors combine to push and pull teachers to different locations. Moreover, the factors interact with individual teacher characteristics such as gender,...

The EdTech Hub received a request from the FCDO Bangladesh team to provide a topic brief identifying best practices from previous back-to-school campaigns following disruptions. Key themes of effective school re-openings are examined in the context of modalities used to deliver distance learning (e.g., radio, television).

In 2021 the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO), UNESCO, UNHCR, the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and EdTech Hub began collaborating to develop a Regional Learning Hub (RLH). The aim of the RLH is to create a platform to provide teaching and learning content aligned to the curricula of different countries in the region that is appropriate to local contexts. The RLH is envisaged as a platform where digital learning content has been...

This case study explores One Teacher Thailand (OTT), a teacher-led learning network that supports holistic professional development rooted in the real needs of classrooms. Driven by a core team of volunteer teacher leaders, OTT integrates educational technology with broader concerns such as mental health, safety, and student engagement. The report examines the network’s evolution, identifies key factors behind its success, and offers recommendations to guide its continued growth and scaling...

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of the existing literature on the use of technology in supporting girls’ education in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The RER has been produced in response to the novel 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19), and the resulting widespread global shutdown of schools. It therefore has an emphasis on transferable insights that may be applicable to educational responses resulting from the limitations to the continuation of schooling caused by...

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic increase in the role educational technology (EdTech) plays in education delivery. As schools have closed worldwide, EdTech has played a critical role in keeping children learning. However, as the pandemic has persisted, the optimism around EdTech has plateaued. It has given way to fears that children who are using EdTech are not learning, and that the most marginalised children are falling further behind due to the emergence of a digital...

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...

Based on the growing access to technology, and the lessons learned from the experiences during the Covid-19 school closures, the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MoEFPT) has identified the formalisation of a strategy to develop and implement technology-based learning approaches as an immediate national priority. UNICEF Pakistan is developing a strategy to guide its engagement in the technology-facilitated learning space in Pakistan. This strategy will identify how...
