The Gobee Learning Agenda: can we sustainably implement and scale a digital assessment tool in the low resource and Education in Emergencies sector?

Submitted by admin on
Abstract

Since the unprecedented shift to distance learning that came with Covid lockdowns and mass school closures, increasing numbers of Education in Emergencies (EiE) actors have been turning to EdTech to find solutions to the complex challenges facing the sector. This has led to a number of emerging EdTech products and prototypes, many of which have shown great potential. Whilst this potential is exciting, there remain important questions around EdTech in low resource and EiE settings. For example, gaps in evidence on learning outcomes for digital interventions have led EiE actors to grapple with how to measure learning outcomes for children learning at distance, particularly in low resource settings (UNICEF, 2022). Meanwhile, the sector has also been reflecting on how to move emerging EdTech applications from promising pilots to programmes that can sustainably operate at scale in challenging humanitarian contexts (UNHCR, 2022).
