Abstract

The Digital Decisions project analysed how staff in higher education institutions in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa made decisions to make greater use of online learning. We explored challenges, how key decisions were made, and the impacts of these on students and staff. We also gathered views on good practices in digital decision making. The topics and the quotes found here are drawn from this.

Creating any form of quality online teaching requires time and strategic thought. Digital technologies can increase flexibility but need to be combined with appropriate pedagogy and support for staff and students. This guide can help you make decisions and apply good practices to the development of online and digital education.
