The dataset provided here as a link to a spreadsheet presents raw data from a global mapping exercise of 471 national digital platforms across 184 countries conducted by EdTech Hub as part of a Helpdesk request from UNICEF. The mapping exercise examined three key areas of availability, usability, and inclusivity of national digital learning platforms. Analysis from the dataset was used to generate a report on national digital learning platforms. The datasheet includes the authors’...

With the accelerating growth of the academic corpus, doubling every nine years, machine learning is a promising avenue to make systematic review manageable. Though several notable advancements have already been made, the incorporation of machine learning is less than optimal, still relying on a sequential, staged process designed to accommodate a purely human approach, exemplified by PRISMA. Here, we test a spiral, alternating or oscillating approach, where full-text screening is done...

This paper outlines how ideas of ‘degrowth’ might be used to reimagine sustainable forms of education technology. In essence, degrowth calls for a proactive renewal of technology use around goals of voluntary simplicity and slowing-down, community-based coproduction and sharing, alongside conscious minimalization of resource consumption. The paper considers how core degrowth principles of conviviality, commoning, autonomy and care have been used to develop various forms of ‘radically...

Systematic approaches to evidence synthesis can improve the rigour, transparency, and replicability of a traditional literature review. However, these systematic approaches are time and resource intensive. We evaluate the ability of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to undertake two initial stages of evidence syntheses (searching peer-reviewed literature and screening for relevance) and develop a novel collaborative framework to leverage the best of both human and AI intelligence. Using a scoping review of...

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 Covid-19 pandemic has catalysed the need for technology-enhanced education globally. This is no different in Bangladesh, where the Education Section of the UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office is seeking a better understanding of the role and potential of EdTech to improve numeracy skills among the most marginalised learners. In efforts to do this, UNICEF Bangladesh partnered with EdTech Hub to in which EdTech interventions contribute the most to numeracy learning for marginalised learners...

Acceptable use policies (AUPs) aim to define how digital and technological tools and services (both devices and ICT services) should be used in or by education systems and actors. These policies address the rights, privileges, responsibilities, and ramifications associated with the use of technology in education spaces and for educational purposes. In doing so, AUPs attempt to promote good practice and responsible, safe use of the internet and digital technologies. This brief uses global...

The active learning methods for prioritising systematic reviews have undergone significant progress and innovation in recent years. This rapid development, however, has inadvertently highlighted the disparity between the rapid development of these methodologies and their rigorous evaluation, stemming from constraints in simulation size, lack of infrastructure, and the use of few datasets. We embark on a large-scale simulation study involving over 27 thousand simulations and over 156 million...

This Helpdesk report was created in response to a request from the World Bank Malawi Education Team for a curated list of resources on examples of EdTech interventions targeting out-of-school children and adolescents to inform an ASA (Advisory Services and Analytics) output. The ASA output will provide policy options to improve second-chance learning and foundational skills for out-of-school children (OOSC). To provide the World Bank Malawi team with adequate information on the above. This...

Reliable and timely data is essential for decision-makers at all administrative levels to ensure inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all. Geospatial data has the potential to provide valuable insights across a range of areas of interest to the education sector, from identifying potential threats to schools and the education community, such as throughdata on natural disaster patterns, to supporting equitable allocation of resources based on data showing the remoteness of schools....
