With the introduction of new and improved technologies, the conception and rapid growth of educational technology or Edtech has quickly gained success all over the world. Bangladesh is no different to this trend, as a very lucrative Edtech sector has emerged within the last few years. This recent influx in Edtech platform expansion and usage raises the need for further investigation as to what factors influence the usage of the Edtech platforms in Bangladesh. To address this research gap, this study was conducted among 222 people who were aware of Edtech platforms and their functionality in Bangladesh. The hypothesis testing showed that there was a relationship between Edtech technology and improvement of cloud computing in Bangladesh. Factor analysis was done to identify the most prominent factors, namely 'User Convenience', 'Quality of Learning', 'Instructing Capability', and 'User Capability'. The quantitative analysis results mostly coincided with the qualitative data derived from literature review as well as the expert interviews. Future researches should be carried out to more geographical locations such as rural areas with a wider range of demographic variable like income level and family size to better understand the Edtech usage factors in Bangladesh.

Globally, disruptions driven by technological advancements are visible in the form of unicorns and declining lifespan of the index constituents. Sectors such as information technology, financial services, energy, consumer goods and automobile are found to be more prone to disruptive innovation. Assessing the financial strength of the incumbents is crucial to assess their strength to endure disruption. We construct a fundamental strength index (FSI) using 11 financial performance measures covering 7 key attributes, namely profitability, efficiency, solvency, liquidity, net investments, pursuance of innovation and entry barriers, over the 5-year period 2014–2019. FSI helps in categorizing stocks of National Stock Exchange (NSE) 200 universe as ‘A’ being the fundamentally strongest and ‘C’ being the weakest. Potential crossovers can take place between ‘C’ category stock in Nifty 50 (Next 50) and ‘A’ category stock belonging to the Next 50 (Nifty Midcap 100). The results show that the disruptor’s portfolio (Next 50 stocks) outperforms the incumbent’s portfolio (Nifty 50 constituents) with a return of 1.61 per cent vs 0.47 per cent. A similar observation holds true for the Next 50 and Nifty Midcap 100, with the disruptor’s portfolio surpassing the incumbent’s portfolio (return of 2.59% vs 0.44%). The study has significant implications for the policymakers, investors, companies and academicians.

In recent years, the teaching-learning process in higher education has undergone unprecedented change. Learners from across the world can enroll in any university using online platforms. This learning freedom is fantastic for all stakeholders, but it raises some serious concerns, such as how to ensure effective learner engagement and make the learning experience meaningful for the learners. While technology has aided learning, it has also become a significant source of distraction for students, as they spend too much time on gadgets solely for entertainment. This necessitates innovative and engaging teaching styles from educators. Designing course content as a game makes learning more engaging as learners get a sense of motivation and accomplishment. However, aligning games with lesson plans, designing assessment criteria, and learning outcomes takes a significant amount of time and effort. Hence, this chapter proposes learner-centered interactive instructional strategies that employ GBL to pique learners' curiosity and recommends popular GBL platforms for creating educational games.
