Abstract

[The chapter highlights challenges of pandemic-forced, internet-based learning in developing nations. Through a review of high- and ‘low-tech’ alternatives, including television, radio and social media and ‘no-tech’ solutions during the pandemic lockdown, the chapter highlighted how technology access and use for learning enhanced the ever-widening gap between privileged learners and their underprivileged counterparts. The review called to question the assumed potential of technology to bridge equity gaps, and solve the problem of equitable and quality access to education. The implications of the status of online learning for the achievement of SDG4, and graduate competitiveness were also discussed among other issues.]
