THEME: AFRICAN DIGITAL DAWN; TRANSFORMING EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Preamble
The conference theme, as advertised, is “African Digital Dawn; Transforming Education Through Technology,” which is apt at this time because our educational institutions cannot watch the digital revolution from the sidelines while they should be at the frontline of its initiation, development, and deployment.
I have titled my paper: “Role of Digital Technology in Education: The Case of Model-Based Teaching and Research.”
Keywords: Digital Technology, Digital Education, and Model-Based Teaching and Research.
