Abstract

In the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, educational institutions had to be temporarily shut down by their respective governments around the world in order to contain the spread of the virus. The pandemic globally engendered new ways of teaching and learning amidst the restrictions. Schools in emerging countries are mostly dependent on the traditional face-to-face method of teaching and learning and barely had any substantial experience in virtual education prior to the outbreak. Moreover, many countries lack adequate infrastructure for ICTs and internet usage. Nonetheless, these countries also adopted various digital technologies for virtual teaching and learning. This chapter discusses digital technologies and resources for learning in emerging countries under lockdown and proposes a research model for evaluating their impact amidst the effects of the digital divide.
