“…Therefore, this calls for enlightenment for the administrators in the education sector to push forward and support the creation of digital infrastructure to allow this nonconventional setup to prosper. Undeniably, this direction coincides with the goal of Education 4.0, which is to respond to society's demands and transform the future of education using advanced technology and automation (Ghavifekr & Wong, 2022). Moreover, while the program was discovered to provide specific benefits to its stakeholders, its administrators and funding agency could look into intensifying and improving the program even if there is no pandemic.…”

As the pandemic challenges the education sector, alternative and innovative delivery of quality education has to be done. Notably, this study focused on a qualitative investigation of the successes and strengths of the Tele-Aral program using the 4-D process of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). The data were gathered using both semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Guides for the interviews and FGDs were aligned with the research questions and validated by experts. Similarly, I followed the ethical research standards to protect human subjects while maintaining the study's trustworthiness. Additionally, nonprobability sampling techniques such as purposeful and criterion sampling were used in determining the study participants. Then, the data were thematically analyzed and methodologically triangulated. The findings revealed that the Tele-Aral program gave specific benefits to its stakeholders during the discovery stage. Participants envisioned that the program would become more successful in catering to struggling learners in the future. To achieve and sustain these visions, the participants looked into personal and collective upskilling and promoting the program to the local government units to reach more learners. Furthermore, I recommend that education stakeholders explore using appreciative inquiry in making various school reforms. Likewise, further studies are encouraged, focusing on the limitations of this study.

“…The ICT implementation must support instructional objectives to transform learning from passive to active [9]. A wide range of policies and strategies have been developed by various nations to effectively integrate ICTs into education [10]. South African institutions of higher education lack a succinct vision and comprehensive strategy for implementation of ICT in curricular activities.…”

“…South African institutions of higher education lack a succinct vision and comprehensive strategy for implementation of ICT in curricular activities. Universities have varied guidelines which form part of the broader institutional goals [10]. Most ICT strategies in South Africa involve gradual introduction and using the blended learning approach as previously recommended by Mhlanga [11].…”

Technological environments and demands of the new teaching and learning paradigms have paved the way for educational institutions to use Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to enhance the quality of student learning. ICT has revolutionized medical education in the past two decades, as a result teaching and learning has changed profoundly. Globally, nations and universities are investing immensely on novel ICT tools and adaptation processes. To keep abreast with these advancements, low-and middle-income nations need to investigate the appropriate strategic options for adaption and incorporating ICTs in education. The cross-sectional study sought to investigate the perceptions of undergraduate Medical Laboratory Science students on the application of ICT in education at Mangosuthu University of Technology in South Africa. The data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The research study was underpinned by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which examined the perceptions of students on the incorporation of ICT into their learning. The findings revealed that most respondents were females in the 21-to-25-year age range, living off campus and matriculated from a rural high school with no prior ICT exposure. A low mean self-perceived ICT skills was reported. Student's perceived lecturer's to be competent in delivering ICT enabled teaching. ICT was also perceived to be useful in learning. Students had access to ICT resources on campus. Students reported a positive attitude on technology adaptation. The key barriers to adaptation of ICT were external factors connectivity, time constraints and skills deficiency. This work confirmed that medical educators need to reconfigure their pedagogical approach to a blended learning strategy to accommodate the underprepared students with deficient ICT skills for gradual adaptation of ICTs in medical laboratory science. A recommendation for educational leaders and managers in low-and middle-income countries is to modify the academic calendar, improve resource access and support to ICT to effectively incorporate ICT into medical education. National leaders in higher education must play a proactive and supportive role in mitigating ICT integration constraints.

“…Casablanca plantea que las innovaciones educativas no han estado ni se puede pretender que estén limitadas solo a las innovaciones tecnológicas al sustituirse unos dispositivos o soportes por otros. De tal modo, la adquisición y adecuación de las TIC en las aulas no son una innovación en sí misma sino no son adecuadas y adoptadas como parte de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizajes como TAC, y consigo, deben propiciar transformaciones integrales para todos los estamentos educativos al generar innovaciones significativas (Ghavifekr y Wong, 2022).…”

Los recursos educativos impresos, mecánicos y audiovisuales que habían sido cuestionados y considerados tradicionales ante el paradigma conectivista fueron reestablecidos y fortalecidos durante la pandemia covid-19, así como se han constituido en alternativas de mejora educativa ante las limitaciones en conectividad en las zonas suburbanas, rurales y selváticas. El objetivo del artículo de reflexión es describir las tendencias internacionales en el uso de tecnologías remotas no digitales en el contexto global, así como las experiencias de adaptación en Colombia y Panamá. Resultado de una tesis doctoral en tecnología educativa, la comunicación de enfoque cualitativo y método interpretativo revisa y contrasta las experiencias en el uso de recursos educativos remotos no digitales, en diferentes contextos internacionales. En conclusión, las brechas tecnológicas en las zonas más apartadas y sin conectividad conllevaron durante la coyuntura pandémica al fomento y reapropiación masiva de recursos educativos obsoletos.
