The Hub was requested to focus primarily on the deployment of a VLE in lower secondary education, and this report consequently focuses primarily on this group. The report is structured in four sections: An introduction to provide the background and guiding principles for the engagement with a short overview of the methodology applied.  An analysis of the Zanzibar education system with a particular focus on elements relevant to deploying a VLE. This includes the status of ICT infrastructure, and a summary of the stakeholders who will play a role in using or implementing a VLE.  A third section that discusses types of VLEs and content organisation, and their applicability to the Zanzibar ecosystem.  A conclusion with recommendations for Zanzibar, including short- and long-term steps. In this collaboration with Zanzibar’s MoEVT, the Hub team sought to understand the purpose of the proposed VLE. Based on discussions and user scenarios, we identified two main education challenges a VLE may help to resolve. In the short term, students cannot go to school during the COVID-19 crisis, but need access to educational content. There is content, but no flexible and versatile platform to disseminate content to all students. In the long term, a mechanism to provide students with access to quality, curriculum-aligned content in school, or remotely, is required.}, institution = {EdTech Hub}, author = {Groeneveld, Caspar and Kibga, Elia and Kaye, Tom}, month = jul, year = {2020}, doi = {10.53832/edtechhub.0028}, note = {ZenodoArchiveID: 5652121 previousZenodoArchiveID: 3941727 previousDOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3941727 KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/zenodo.3941727 10.53832/edtechhub.0028 2129771:KLLMDHKK 2339240:Y5Z46TRU 2405685:2B8SH5S3 2405685:K7JDL4IL}, keywords = {C:Tanzania, H:Online learning, LP: English, \_DOILIVE, \_EdTechHub\_Output, \_MELA\_seen, \_cover:v1, \_zenodo:submitted, \_zenodoETH, dode\_eth-src-eth, dode\_eth-trf2-dode}, } @techreport{groeneveld_deploying_2020, title = {Deploying an e-learning {Environment} in {Zanzibar}: {Digital} {Content} {Curation}}, url = {https://docs.edtechhub.org/lib/T2W7MU3K}, abstract = {In April 2020, the Zanzibar Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT) and the World Bank approached EdTech Hub (the Hub) to explore the feasibility of implementing a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

This article reports on the process involved in the development of multimedia enhanced content that involved teachers, facilitators, and technical staff. The developed content was evaluated for its satisfaction using a sample of 72 experts that included teachers and instructors after using the content for 10 days. Generally, respondents were satisfied with the quality of the developed multimedia enhanced content. However, accuracy had a minimum percentage of users’ satisfaction with 37\%. This shows that the majority of the content had spelling and grammatical errors that were supposed to have been corrected before producing the final product. Although this is ongoing work, we believe that the lessons learned from our efforts can be useful to similar organizations planning to develop multimedia enhanced content for educational purposes.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, journal = {Journal of Learning for Development}, author = {Mtebe, Joel S and Kibga, Elia Y and Mwambela, Alfred A and Kissaka, Mussa M}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2339240:ZUGSB5D2 2405685:VQRTVRL7}, keywords = {⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {29--44}, }
