Josephine Marie Godwyll, professor at the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sports and Recreation, University of Alberta, and founder of the ed-tech social enterprise Young at Heart Ghana, believes that game based e-learning platforms (i.e., recreational learning technology) could play a transformative role in rural schools in Ghana, but only if the issue of access is addressed.
Josephine Marie Godwyll: When schools were closed because of COVID-19, students suddenly found themselves stuck at home and largely disconnected from their teachers and peers. Because of difficulties accessing lessons remotely, most students from rural schools were unable to participate in schooling for almost a year. This led to significant learning losses that have not yet been reversed.
