in the photo Stephen Kwame Ameko is presenting his study in a roundtable session to other people. His study is about “Bridging the Virtual Divide: Insights from Secondary Data on Technologies and Distance Learning in Ghana.” Drawing on Digital Divide Theory and a systematic review of studies from 2018 - 2025, Stephen unpacked how technologies like Learning Management Systems (LMS), video conferencing, and virtual simulations continue to shape, and sometimes deepen, inequalities in online education. Key findings highlighted that while digital platforms expand flexibility and engagement, barriers such as limited broadband access, digital literacy gaps, and uneven institutional resources still challenge Ghanaian distance learners. Stephen’s study calls for evidence-based interventions: digital skills training, affordable devices, hybrid learning models, and infrastructure investments to create a more inclusive and equitable distance education landscape in Ghana.
