The 21st century has become synonymous with E-learning as technological advancements continue to upgrade our daily lives, providing a crucial role in skill improvement within school education. Recently, E-learning has transformed and enhanced skill development in various areas, prompting the government of India to launch the Digital India flagship program with a vision to empower India into a digitally enabled society and knowledge economy. Furthermore, the Ministry of Human Resource Development's National Digital Library of India project provides education through information and communication, aimed at improving the Indian school education system. Therefore, this paper presents a SWOT analysis of E-learning in digital education for schools.

This paper aims to evaluate the preservice teachers' teaching performance in a blended field experience during the quarantine of COVID-19. An exploratory sequential mixed method approach was adopted using Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis as a qualitative tool and quantitative data collected using a teacher evaluation rubric that merged the INTASC standards in the Danielson domains. The results show that using SWOT analysis positively impacts teachers' performance: they understand how to use the external environment (seizing opportunities and avoiding threats) to control the internal environment (enhancing strengths and removing weaknesses).

“…Even face-to-face communication are sometimes preferred over paper-based information exchanges (Mariana & Putri, 2018). The adoption of these smart strategies may require the training of staff on e-communication and cloud computing (Odeh et al, 2015). Carbon emissions are reduced when paper efficiency is improved, and this should be a central theme of all organisations.…”

Environmental sustainability in Africa: Insight into paper consumption by an African university

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Environmental sustainability is a huge challenge in Africa as the region is currently struggling to provide sustainable systems to support daily human activities. Such activities in many African organisations include paper-based information storage and communication which are not ecofriendly and place a huge burden on forest resources. This study therefore focused on the implication of overusing paper in an African university. Fifty offices in the university were surveyed and 59 questionnaires administered. The questionnaires were transcribed and analysed using both textual qualitative and quantitative analyses. The results showed that 6888 reams of paper (costing about 8 million Naira) are consumed annually by the university, translating to about 413 trees, which are enough to occupy a standard-sized football pitch. It was also found that administrative staff members were generally Information Communication Technology (ICT) certified; however, many of them are still not wellinformed on the environmental implication of overconsuming paper even though they are largely aware of the benefits of paperless systems. Recommendations were offered on how to reduce the demand for paper by the university. This study is expected to create more awareness on the urgent need for African organisations to take environmental sustainability issues more seriously.
