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...

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,...

This resource is based on preliminary insights from EdTech Hub’s emerging study of Learning continuity in response to climate emergencies following the 2022 Pakistan floods. The intention is to support stakeholders to identify feasible ways of using EdTech in response to Pakistan’s 2022 floods. The design adopted for this resource balances generating primary insights from flood-affected parents and teachers quickly and complementing these with insights from the existing evidence base on...

This EdTech Horizon Scan examines the issue of online safety in digital education — why it should be prioritised, how it is currently being approached, and its potential to become central to education design in low- and middle-income countries. Given that the internet has no borders, there is much to be done to address online safety in all parts of the world — high-income and low- and middle-income countries alike.

Building on EdTech Hub's preliminary insights, this extended resource explores Learning continuity in response to climate emergencies following the 2022 Pakistan floods. The intention is to support stakeholders in identifying scalable and feasible ways of using EdTech in response to Pakistan’s 2022 floods and improving learning responses in future climate emergencies. We identified these approaches by interviewing flood-affected parents and teachers, government education officers,...

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...
