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 report presents a rapid evaluation of AI-generated lesson plans currently being used in public schools in rural and urban Islamabad under the National Institute of Excellence in Teacher Education (NIETE). These centrally developed, scripted lesson plans are aligned with the national curriculum and built on the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model, with additional elements of the 5E and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) models in science, and the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA)...

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...

High-income countries often use external incentives such as remuneration, professional pathways or accreditation to motivate teachers to engage in professional development. This paper reflects on the challenges of engaging teachers in school-based professional development in resource-scarce education environments where the use of such incentives is not feasible and explores practical strategies to motivate their engagement. In such contexts, where qualified teacher status and promotion are...

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...

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 is a report on the Beta testing of a digital learning platform and applications developed for the Ministry of Education in Madagascar. The project aims to train 16,000 teachers, with 2,000 utilising distance learning via tablets. The Beta user testing focused on the pedagogical relevance, usability, and ergonomics of the platform and two offline applications. Twenty-one teachers participated, evaluating tasks like launching applications, navigating content, accessing multimedia, and...

This document, details the Alpha user testing of a digital learning platform and educational applications for the Ministry of National Education of Madagascar, aimed at training 2000 teachers. Conducted in July 2024, the testing focused on functionality and accessibility. Twenty-nine testers, primarily web developers and instructional designers, used a Google Forms questionnaire to evaluate the platform and applications. The results showed that while the platform was generally functional,...

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...

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 second 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 whether introducing a timer alongside digitised lesson plans impacts upon teachers’ lesson plan usage. The A/B test found that providing a timer did not influence how much time teachers spent on digitised lesson plans. While, on average, teachers in the timer group tended to spend less time on lesson...

This is the first 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 optimal number of minutes for pre-primary learners on a classroom-integrated digital personalised learning tool to optimise learning outcomes. The A/B/C test found different levels of session duration impacted on literacy and numeracy outcomes, with the findings for numeracy dependent on grade level....

In 2024, the World Bank submitted a request to EdTech Hub's Helpdesk to support the Government of Sierra Leone in developing a National Digital Learning Strategy. The Hub initiated the process with the creation of this digital learning landscape analysis. The report identifies achievements and progress to date, as well as key challenges and priority areas going forward. It is based on primary and secondary data collection methods, including key informant interviews, focus group discussions,...
