Learning 2.0 Theoretical Framework for Higher Education in Low Resource States

Abstract

Learning 2.0 is a milestone in educational technology that has presented a global learning opportunity for a wider education access and reaching the underserved communities. This has caused a resurgence of interests for the transformation of higher education in low resource countries. However, the poor technological environment and deteriorating condition of the higher education sector in many low resource countries is blurring this opportunity and weakening the resurgence both in theory and practice. This article proposes a learning theoretical framework that could be used to widen participation and equity to higher education in low resource countries by harnessing the power of Learning 2.0.  In so doing higher education can be rethought and transformed despite existing challenges and poor technological environment.
