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...

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 in-service Communities of Practice (CoPs) support teacher learning and how EdTech can enhance this aspect of teacher professional development (TPD) in low- and middle-income countries. In-service CoPs have become an important component of TPD, creating spaces where teachers can share their knowledge...

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...
