TI - EdTech Evidence From Covid-19 Response: A thematic review of primary research from Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan and Sierra Leone
AU - Nicolai, Susan

AB - 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 four main user groups of learners, girls, teachers, and parents and caregivers and points to a series of cross-cutting factors that are important for EdTech interventions in low-resource settings. An overarching takeaway centres on the fact that having technology in place is a small part of EdTech effectiveness, with wider teaching and learning ecosystems accompanying EdTech deserving more attention. Overall, the studies reveal a symbiotic relationship between people and technology, reinforcing that EdTech works best when users are involved across design, iteration, awareness building, and engagement.
