Abstract：
During school closures prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic, educational technology (EdTech) was often used to continue educational provision. In this article, we consider EdTech effectiveness using a holistic framework, and synthesise findings from 10 primary research studies of EdTech interventions conducted in low- and middle-income countries during the pandemic. The framework includes five main lenses: learning outcomes, enhancing equity, implementation context, cost and affordability, and alignment and scale. While in-person schooling has largely resumed, there continues to be further integration of EdTech into education systems globally. This analysis provides evidence-based insights and highlights knowledge gaps to shape holistic analysis of both EdTech mainstreaming and future research into the effective use of EdTech to strengthen learning.
摘要：
在Covid-19大流行导致学校关闭期间，教育技术(EdTech)经常被用来继续提供教育。在这篇文章中,我们使用整体框架来考虑EdTech的有效性，并综合10项关于在疫情期间在低收入和中等收入国家进行的EdTech干预措施的主要研究研究结果。该框架包括五个主要镜头：学习成果，加强公平，实施上下文，成本和负担能力，以及对齐和缩放。虽然面对面教育已经基本恢复，EdTech继续进一步融入全球教育系统。此分析提供了基于证据的见解，并突出了知识差距，以形成对EdTech主流化和未来研究的整体分析，以有效利用EdTech来加强学习。
