The COVID-19 pandemic quickly led to the closure of universities and colleges around the world, in hopes that public health officials’ advice of social distancing could help to flatten the infection curve and reduce total fatalities from the disease. Drawing on Copenhagen school securitization theory and analyzing 25 declarations of emergency eLearning at American universities, I argue that in addition to COVID-19 being framed as a general threat, face-to-face schooling was also presented as...

Practitioners today are often tasked with designing learning experiences situated in increasingly complex contexts where defining the challenge, understanding learners and stakeholders, and being informed by theory and evidence must all be taken into consideration when planning and implementing a solution. The Learning Engineering Evidence and Decision (LEED) tracker is one possible tool for managing these various channels of influence by recording, revisiting, and iterating upon actionable...

However, to achieve a sustainable supply, planning is required which needs hydrological and hydrogeological data as well information on water demand and general socioeconomic conditions. Data requirements include: the quantity of water required per year, intended rate of abstraction, the use of water and the amount of money available; detailed geology of area...

This research study was focused on determining the role social media, and in particular, instant messaging can have in providing tutor assistance to high school students. The study investigates the implementation of Dr. Maths, an instant messaging tutoring service that ran successfully in South Africa from 2007 to 2013.

This paper examined strategies of empowering individuals to empower the nation with focus on Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET), Entrepreneurship Education (EE) and Information Communication Technology (ICT). It is established that from history TVE was not given its prominent place and that may have accounted for the slow and lagging nature of advancement in TVE. Consequently, future progress will be determined by the level of empowerment given to individuals in schools which...

Accelerated learning programmes (ALPs) provide a fast-track second-chance opportunity to complete formal education, enabling disadvantaged children and youth to catch up with their peers. In 2005, after a preliminary pilot phase, the Government of Iraq, in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) implemented an ALP initially in 10 of Iraq’s 18 governorates with the intention of providing an estimated 50,000 out-of-school, often traumatised and disenfranchised children...

In the past two years alone, at least six systematic reviews or meta-analyses have examined the interventions that improve learning outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. However, these reviews have sometimes reached starkly different conclusions: reviews, in turn, recommend information technology, interventions that provide information about school quality, or even basic infrastructure (such as desks) to achieve the greatest improvements in student learning. This paper demonstrates...
