Relevance of digital technologies in scaling education innovations : the case of Tanzania
This Study explores the relevance of digital technologies such as apps, learning platforms, online collaboration tools, delivery systems (internet, websites, mobile) or a combination of these in scaling education innovations. An innovation is a new or improved product (good or service), process, or method in business practices. In education, innovations are observed in curriculum, teaching methods, institutional structures, and educational processes (to mention a few). Studies exploring the relevance of digital technologies in scaling education innovations are limited, making this study of interest to explore. Using two education innovations that successfully passed the proof of concept, the study assesses the relevance of technology along the five trajectories of scaling (depth, breadth, spread, ownership, and problem definition). Study findings establish that digital technologies, particularly learning management systems, mobile apps, WhatsApp and web-conferencing tools (particularly Google meet and Zoom) as applied in these innovations are relevant across all the scaling trajectories. Study findings contribute to the broader theme of scaling education innovation relevant for addressing sustainable development goal 4 of improving access to quality education. Further research regarding the scaling of existing education innovation through partnerships needs to be explored
