Abstract

The integration of digital learning tools in higher education has transformed online learning, enhancing student engagement and academic performance. This study investigates the impact of digital learning tools such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), interactive simulations, and gamified content on student engagement and achievement in online courses. A qualitative research design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 52 lecturers from 12 universities in Uganda. Thematic analysis revealed six key findings: Digital tools enhance student engagement through interactivity, they help bridge the gap between theory and practice, they positively impact academic achievement, they facilitate communication between students and lecturers, Gamification increases student motivation, and they promote student autonomy in learning. The study concludes that digital tools significantly improve online education, but challenges such as limited internet access and digital literacy remain. It recommends improving digital infrastructure, providing faculty training, and integrating interactive digital tools to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

Due to the pressing need to improve educational quality and accessibility, Uganda’s educational system is significantly transitioning. Adopting cutting-edge teaching strategies and technologies has become crucial as the nation works to fulfil the demands of a world that is changing quickly. This study explores innovative teaching methods and technologies in Uganda classrooms using a qualitative research design to understand how these innovations are being implemented and what opportunities and difficulties they bring. 54 people from 10 Ugandan universities participated in the study. Purposive sampling was used in the participant selection process to guarantee a varied representation of experiences and points of view. Through semi-structured interviews, data was gathered. The data from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Four major themes emerged: Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Personalized Learning, Active Learning Strategies, and Technology Integration in Education. The results show that although technology improves student engagement and instructional delivery, issues such as resource scarcity and inadequate teacher preparation prevent it from reaching its full potential. Active learning techniques encourage teamwork and critical thinking, but they run into problems with big class sizes and a lack of resources. While there is potential for personalized learning to meet a wide range of learner demands, it will cost a lot in terms of professional development and adaptive technology. To create inclusive learning settings, culturally specific pedagogy is necessary, but it must be matched with standardized curricula. To optimize the advantages of these cutting-edge methods in Ugandan education, this study emphasizes the necessity for better infrastructure, teacher support, and equitable resource allocation.
