Jaurès S. H. Kameni; Bernabé Batchakui; Roger Nkambou – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2025
The majority of Sub-Saharan African countries are facing a very negative teacher-learner ratio: one teacher for over 120 learners.

Michael Paskevicius; Valerie Irvine – OTESSA Journal, 2021
To date, the phenomenon associated with open education in relation to teaching and learning practices remains under-theorized in the literature, which represents both a challenge and opportunity for further research (Bulfin et al., 2013; Howard & Maton, 2011; Knox, 2013; Veletsianos, 2015). There exists an opportunity to develop new theory, as…
