Teaching and learning in the contemporary era require technological or digital advancement. Various learning technologies offer a wide range of opportunities to enhance effective engagements between lecturers and students in institutions of higher learning. Consequently, this study explored the understanding of higher institutions in maximising the use of digital teaching and learning strategies to foster student success. In addition, the researchers investigated the proper provisioning of digital tools to successfully utilise online learning platforms. A total of 239 Science Foundation Students in the 2021 cohort participated in this study. A questionnaire with open and closed-ended questions regarding the availability of gadgets, university data provisions and network connectivity was administered. Results of this study revealed that 95 students had laptops while the rest used their smartphones, 52 students received university data during the investigation period and 186 managed to connect to the Internet mostly by utilising the university’s free Wi-Fi. These findings have significant implications for the development of effective planning prior to the implementation of digital teaching and learning. Furthermore, results showed reasonable students’ engagement regarding viewing quiz questions from the Modular Object-Orientated Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle) platform and an infectiveness for the report posting exercises.

“…Striving towards an increase in productivity may be considered to be quantitative activities, and stimulating the development of certain spheres of activity with the simultaneous lack of incentives for other spheres may pass as qualitative activities (see: Vučković et al 2018). It is well worth noting that the quantitative dimension of development is economic development, hence it is a notion wider than growth, as apart from qualitative changes, it is accompanied by structural changes (Bystrova et al 2015).…”

A very important research problem is the specification of the level of the socio-economic development of the EU regions. Within the cohesion policy, one may differentiate between regions more and less advanced in terms of general development, including the worth of GDP per capita. Following that measure, one can establish the areas eligible for getting help from EU budget support programmes. The purpose of the article was to present the variation in the level of the socio-economic development of 28 EU countries within the 1,347 NUTS-3 units. The level of the development was established on a multilevel basis, subcategorising three factors of regional development: human capital, the natural environment and the economy. The article specifies the extent of the NUTS-3 unit general progression following the analysis of 31 indicative measures structured around publicly available Eurostat statistical data (as of 2019). The extent of the progression was demonstrated based on a synthetic measure revealing the taxonomic distance of a particular region from the assumed arrangement measuring the development. The research procedure consisted of five development levels, namely: the establishment of factors of the progression of regions, a choice of variable factors, a decrease in the multi-factor space, an identification in the extent of the social and economic progression of the researched units and a subcategorisation of the units on the scale of the social and economic progression structured around a ranking prepared using the analysis of a lowering synthetic measure. The research resulted in spatial variation of 1,347 NUTS-3 unit subregions in 28 EU states presented in terms of the level of the social and economic progression and the three subparts of the progression. The highest synthetic measure was noted in the areas including the capitals of the states included in the research and in a belt comprising the Irish subregions, Central England, the Benelux states, Western and Southern Germany, up until the Alpine subregion. Moreover, significant differences between the levels of the development within the respective states were presented. The results of the research may be a source of inspiration for EU institutions within the scope of the manner of specifying the richest and the poorest EU regions, whose purpose is to ensure the efficient introduction and conclusion of the cohesion policy in the programming periods specified.

The article focuses on the analysis of the level of the socio-economic development of 239 NUTS-3 level subregions of Central-Eastern Europe based on 31 indicators categorized within the 3 subcomponents (factors) of the regional development: the human capital, the natural environment as well as entrepreneurship and innovativeness. The purpose of the article is to specify the variation in the level of the socio-economic development of the subregions within the arrangement of the NUTS-3 units. The level of the socio-economic development as well as the level of the development of its factors shall be presented based on a synthetic gauge exhibiting the taxonomic distance of a particular subregion from the established pattern of the development. In the study, a hypothesis shall be verified according to which the socio-economic development of Central-Eastern European subregions is highly varied and its highest level is registered in the subregions located around the capitals of the researched states. In the first part of the article an analysis of the theories of the regional development was made with a special consideration of the factors of the socio-economic development. Five stages of the research procedure conducted were then discussed. The results received were comprised within table charts, moreover they were presented in the form of choropleths representing the spatial variation of the level of the socio-economic development of the NUTS-3 unit in Central-Eastern Europe.
