This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices in emergency contexts. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear picture of ‘what works’ regarding EdTech in emergencies. Crucially, it also aims to create an understanding of the conditions necessary to ensure the effectiveness of these interventions. Accordingly,...

This list curates resources on the use of EdTech to support the effective monitoring of educational outcomes, such as learning, reporting, and attendance. Resources shared are both tools and initiatives that can be adapted to support effective educational monitoring.

This Rapid Evidence Review provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices for learners in contexts of forced displacement. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others), with a clear picture of which interventions may be the most effective in these contexts and, crucially, which implementation decisions facilitate or hinder this effectiveness. We reviewed...

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 Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to teaching practices and pedagogies for emergency remote learning. The main aim of this review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear understanding of the available global evidence on effective practices in teaching when students are educated remotely during emergencies, and to assess the relevance of this evidence for low- and middle-income contexts. The...

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 policy brief reports on a teacher survey in Tanzania (July–November 2021) that EdTech Hub commissioned HakiElimu to conduct in order to inform the government’s ongoing national school-based TCPD reform. The survey items were taken from a landmark global survey of 20,000+ teachers’ reflections, experiences, and challenges concerning EdTech access and use, teaching and learning, and professional development over the preceding year, reported by a team from T4 Education and EdTech...

The study reported here is for Phase 2 of the research project known as ‘The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based Teacher Continuous Professional Development Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania’ and part of the global Empowering Teachers Initiative (ETI), which comprises 10 country projects. It is closely aligned with the implementation of ‘MEWAKA’ (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini) or Teacher continuous professional development (TCPD), and the Tanzania National TCPD implementation...

The Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in a period of educational disruption on an unprecedented scale. During this time of crisis, education will not be business as usual, and EdTech alone cannot close the learning gap. It will be dedicated teachers and resilient educators who will ensure learning doesn’t st op — but they could be helped by the right EdTech tools. However, the digital divide means that internet and mobile network access varies greatly in middle and low - income countries. In...

During the Covid-19 pandemic, a wealth of research emerged to quantify student learning and the accessibility of technology for learners. However, existing evidence highlights that access to technology did not equate to learning, yet few studies have investigated the underlying reasons behind this. As a correlating factor of learning achievement, this report investigates student motivation to learn, as perceived by teachers, and how this may have been influenced by their use of remote...

The third of a trilogy of Theories of Change (TOCs) that focuses on parents and caregivers as key agents of change in the development of an increasingly technology-enhanced education system in Bangladesh. The TOC was created following a period of desk research and in-country stakeholder workshops. It offers a theory for how parents’ and caregivers’ experiences in diverse programmes and initiatives will enable them to support children to improved educational outcomes, and take advantage of...

To better understand the use of EdTech interventions as part of response to the Covid-19 pandemic, EdTech Hub commissioned ten small-scale research studies in five low- and middle-income countries: Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan, and Sierra Leone. This paper includes insight into research methodologies across these studies, with particularly interesting findings on how EdTech effectiveness is being measured. A semi-structured thematic analysis further provides insights in relation to...
