Abstract
This synthesis report summarises the impact of technology-enabled learning (TEL) initiatives by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) across Member Countries, emphasising the role of TEL in enhancing educational outcomes. The report provides an overview of blended learning (BL) interventions, highlighting successful strategies, technological integrations, and pedagogical innovations tailored to local contexts. It addresses key challenges such as barriers to change, technological access disparities, and digital literacy gaps, offering solutions that include infrastructure development, educator support, and community engagement. Research indicates that BL significantly improves academic achievement compared to traditional methods, emphasising the importance of government policies and learning management systems (LMS) for promoting ICT in education. Challenges such as inadequate training, infrastructure limitations, and digital divide issues were identified, along with recommendations for addressing these obstacles through professional development, infrastructure improvement, and inclusive policies. The report underscores the importance of continuous support and investment in TEL to ensure equitable and effective educational experiences across the Commonwealth.
