Abstract

Every year billions of dollars are spent on development aid and training around the world. Little attention is paid, however, to the sustainability of the various interventions. Some studies suggest that technology usage can serve as an effective post-learning intervention to enhance the transfer of learning. Currently, there is a limited body of research examining how best to follow up after an educational professional development program in developing countries. Three schools in Ghana, West Africa were selected to address the gap in education development policy with the use of a qualitative exploratory study. This study will help increase our understanding of how technology can promote learning transfer in marginalized communities globally and will provide evidence through multiple modalities.
