The overall goal of the project in Tanzania is to ensure teachers and students are able to effectively use ICT to achieve learning outcomes as set out by Tanzanian curricula. One of the actions to support the achievement of this outcome is to conduct a comprehensive mapping of the current existing e-learning platforms, including e-libraries and learning management systems in the country, and conduct a detailed review of their functionalities.
This will form the basis for upgrading the existing TIE e-learning platforms. This restricted usage of the LMS indicates missed opportunities for broader application and engagement, limiting its effectiveness for both teacher and student learning. Additionally, Tanzania hosts several private platforms, such as Schule Direct, which provide high-quality, curriculum-aligned content.
While study notes and syllabi are accessible for free, features such as past papers, marking schemes, and interactive quizzes with real-time answers require a paid subscription. These private platforms demonstrate the potential for broader access to digital resources, underscoring the need for an expanded and upgraded TIE platform better to support the diverse needs of Tanzanian teachers and students.
The findings from this review will help develop specifications for enhancing the TIE platform, aligning it with the needs of teachers and students nationwide. This process will involve mapping the current landscape, assessing the functionalities of the existing platforms, and gathering recommendations for additional functional and technical specifications required to update the TIE platform.
Once approved, the upgraded platform will be piloted, finalized, and ready for widespread use in supporting digital learning initiatives in Tanzania Mainland. This assignment aims to assess and enhance the existing e-learning platforms, e-libraries, and Learning Management Systems LMS in Tanzania Mainland to ensure they align with national educational goals and support effective ICT integration into the education system.
