“…In conclusion, the availability of technology has emerged as a crucial factor in improving the standard of education and equipping students with the necessary skills to meet the requirements of the contemporary digital era. The presence of technology in educational institutions has been shaped by various variables, such as geographical positioning, discrepancies in funding, and initiatives undertaken by governmental bodies [5,20]. Commonly found in urban elite schools in Ghana are many types of technologies, including computers with internet connection, smartboards, educational software, e-learning platforms, mobile devices, science and technology labs, and library resources [21].…”

In the early stages, humans exhibited apprehension towards interacting with computers, however presently, the majority of individuals possess the ability to effectively utilize computers and their associated functionalities. The incorporation of technology in the field of mathematics extends beyond basic tasks such as typing and printing questions or delivering courses using PowerPoint. Instead, it involves utilizing technology to effectively educate learners on a wide range of mathematical concepts and topics. The incorporation of technology in mathematics education yields beneficial outcomes for both the instruction and acquisition of mathematical concepts. Hence, it is imperative for educators in the field of mathematics to include technology into their instructional practices, while also fostering a culture that promotes the utilization of technology by students for the purpose of enhancing their mathematical learning experiences The aim of the paper is to draw attention to existing literature that examines the integration of technology in math classrooms in Ghana, including the available technologies, their use for teaching math, the competence of math teachers in integrating technology, the relationship between the mathematics curriculum and technology integration, the benefits of technology in developing math concepts, the challenges of teaching with technology, and the implications of incorporating technology in math education.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of the HE sector being able to respond to students' needs using technology to support emergency remote teaching during unpredictable lockdowns (Hodges et al, 2020), in which HE staff worked from home and students studied online through learning management systems (LMSs) using synchronous and asynchronous online communication tools (Crawford et al, 2020). Skilful use of these tools is also essential for ongoing online programs (Saikat et al, 2021) and in the return to blended or hybrid learning environments (Thompson et al, 2021).…”

In the years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was considerable innovation in designing and implementing teaching and learning with technology in fully online, face-to-face and blended modes. To provide an overview of technology-enhanced learning in higher education, we conducted a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines of digital innovations in learning designs between 2014 and 2019, prior to emergency remote teaching responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. From 130 publications, we identified eight overlapping categories of digital technologies being deployed across higher education fields: simulation and augmented or virtual reality; Web 2.0; learning management systems; mobile learning; gamification and serious games; various technologies in classrooms; massive open online courses; and other software, websites, applications and cloud computing. We use these publications, supplemented with findings from selected meta-analyses and systematic reviews of specific technologies, as examples to guide educators designing technology-enhanced learning activities in changing circumstances that may require blended or fully online delivery. As the 130 publications had mixed perceived quality, levels of evidence and details of learning designs and evaluation presented, we suggest educators share their innovations following reporting guidelines relevant to their research methodologies, enabling others to consider transferability to other contexts and to build on their work. Implications for practice or policy: Leaders and administrators should support staff development of technological pedagogical content knowledge and teaching as design for student learning. Educators and instructional designers, in designing learning experiences, should consider adult learning theories, inclusive practices and digital equity and leverage multiple technologies to facilitate students learning their curricula. In educational research or scholarship of teaching and learning, researchers should provide sufficient detail to enable readers to assess transferability to their own contexts.
