As an often overlooked topic in the teaching profession, digital technologies in education are gaining recognition worldwide. Moreover, a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic has an intense effect on digital technology in education. Due to digital technology affordability and flexibility, the use of digital technology in developing countries in Africa has reportedly not been well implemented as a result of a lack of preparedness. Literature shows that many African educational institutions still use traditional and outdated teaching and learning practices. Grounded on the personal experiences of the authors as educators, this chapter seeks to challenge traditional teaching and learning approaches that promote gatekeeping and navigate barriers to effective learning. The chapter discusses various technological approaches such as learning management system (LMS), Canvas, Zoom Classroom, Google Classroom, Mentimeter, Seesaw, and Padlet. Conditions for digital tools, their pedagogical features, and how they work to ensure effective teaching in this fast-developing world have been included.

Introduction: Lockdown measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic had an appreciable impact on the education of all medical, dental and non-medical healthcare professional students. These included the closure of universities necessitating a rapid move to e-learning and a new practical approach to conducting teaching-learning classes. However, initially, there was a lack of knowledge and expertise regarding e-learning approaches and the affordability of internet bundles and equipment. Materials and Methods: We conducted two pilot studies to assess such current challenges, replaced by a two-stage approach including a full investigation involving 32 private and public universities during the early stages of the pandemic, followed by a later study assessing the current environment brought about by the forced tops. Results: The top challenges at the start of the pandemic included a lack of familiarity with the e-learning approaches, the cost of the internet, a lack of IT equipment and the quality of the classes. To address identified challenges, universities offered support to staff and students. Since then, e-learning approaches have widened the possibilities for teaching and learning at convenient times. However, challenges remain. Conclusions: There were considerable challenges at the start of the pandemic. Several key issues have been addressed with hybrid learning here to stay. The remaining challenges include a lack of ICT equipment. However, new innovations will continue.
