The coronavirus-fueled global lockdown has created situations of great contrast and confusion in the education sector. But we're fortunate that the crisis has happened when the availability of affordable internet-connected devices is increasing globally. The use of ICT in education can be leveraged to create a learning experience that solves many of the problems students, teachers, and administrators are facing in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, before implementing ICT in teaching and learning, it's important to revisit the development of its uses in education.

Unprecedented times require unprecedented strategies and actions. Educators in low and middleincome regions of the world like Sub-Saharan Africa need to modify their teaching styles and incorporate a range of innovative methods into pedagogy during and after the corona virus pandemic. Whether you are a digital immigrant or a digital native there are plenty of ways to incorporate technology into teaching in order to make lectures a more engaging and beneficial experience for students. Digital video is a powerful tool for bringing computer users closer to the real world. It is also an excellent method for delivering learning to an audience raised on television. However, the role of video in supporting teacher learning is not well understood, and further research in this area is needed. In this article, I look at three applications that make use of the affordances of video.

Computing and communication technology continue to make an ever-increasing impact on all aspects of cognition, education and training, from primary to tertiary and in the growing open and distance learning environment. However, many of us also refrain from using computers for fear of failure. We want to sharpen our computer skills, but are scared to make the effort because we lack those very skills.

Research involves posing questions, gathering information, and proposing answers, it represents the best starting point for decision-making. Research is the best way currently known to systematically search for new knowledge and generate new evidence. It is a process by which sources, objects and processes are studied to establish facts, test hypotheses, explore ideas, evaluate interventions, develop theories and advance new conclusions.
